These girls. This was last summer. This cabin of girls (Soddy Daisy and CCS) got to go to week long camp at SharpTop Cove summer of 2012. If you were to ask them if it was the best week of their life, they would, without hesitation, say YES.
This post, is about Soddy Daisy Young Life. In just a few weeks (June 1-8), Chattanooga Young Life will be heading to the beautiful Windy Gap Young Life camp in North Carolina. There are 9 girls (and 1 boy!) that are signed up to go from Soddy Daisy High School. THEY ARE PUMPED.
We have done a car wash (hoping to get to squeeze one more in before we leave). We have cracked eggs on our heads for money (they got away clean). Letters have been sent out. We tried singing on the bridge for money. But we are still short on funds. To be honest, these Soddy Daisy folks can't afford to pay for camp. So we are trying to raise the money for them (and with them!).
This is why I've written this post.
Soddy Daisy Young Life needs your help! Won't you help send some of our high school friends to Young Life camp to be closer to Jesus or possibly meet Jesus for the first time? Will you be a part of the best week of someone's life?
Here's the reality: If we could send all of Soddy Daisy High School to a YL camp, we would. In a heartbeat.
But what's holding us back?
Money.
How much is camp, Tiffany?
The cost of camp for EACH of our high school friends is $665.00 (they've already paid a $50 deposit).
$665.00.
Per person...
BUT, if you've ever been to a Young Life camp, you would know that it's totally worth it.
So, I'm going to lay out some things for you (here comes my UTC education- because I'm an ALUMNI now)
665.00 per person.
We have 10 kids going to camp.
665 x 10= $6,650 total for our high school friends.
This doesn't include the cost of the leaders to go. It is $450.00 per person for leaders. There are 3 of us.
450 x 3= $1,350 total.
so,
$6,650 + $1,350= $8,000
(my own jaw is dropping as I'm doing the math).
$8,000 is the amount we need. That's a lot of money, I know. And it's only from one high school here in Chattanooga. But I also know that God is bigger than money.
From the car wash and support letters and other fundraisers so far we have about $500 to put towards camp cost.
So really, we need about $7,500.
So let's do some more math.
C'mon UTC education!
So, if 100 of my friends gave $75 each, we would have our total.
OR
If 75 of my friends gave $100 each, we would have our total.
OR
If 7,000 of my friends gave $1 each, we would have our total.
Won't you join me to help Soddy Daisy Young Life?
Here...
I'll even make it easy for you.
Here's two options for paying (if you decide to join in financially with me!)

Let's all be bold for Jesus, and see how He shows up :)
