In an announcement made last week by House of Raeford Farms FLOCK, the Rose Hill non-profit celebrated a record-breaking fundraising achievement by Camp Corral totaling $80,479. The amount raised was possible with the help of a $30,000 matching gift donated by FLOCK.
The funds will enable 64 children of wounded and fallen service members to attend a week-long summer camp in Raleigh designed to support their emotional and developmental needs.
“FLOCK’s partnership with Camp Corral is fulfilling our mission of helping those who are called to do good, do more,” said Dave Witter, a member of FLOCK’s board of directors, in a news release.
According to the organization, FLOCK has contributed over $94,000 to the non-profit since 2022. Camp Corral provides activities that foster growth, confidence and connection, helping military children form lasting friendships and giving them a safe space to heal, grow and thrive.
“House of Raeford Farms FLOCK has, once again, given America’s military children a week of summer camp and a lifetime of memories,” said Sheri Oberhelman, vice president of development and outreach at Camp Corral. “Their support of Camp Corral’s mission has helped to change thousands of lives over the past several years.”
With over 3,000 campers registered for summer sessions this year, the ongoing support from donors like FLOCK gives kids a chance to find renewed hope. The camp often serves as a transformative milestone, helping children discover their inner strength, develop social skills, and connect with peers who face similar challenges.
“They are strengthening military families one child at a time by giving them a chance to build lifelong friendships, grow in their self-confidence, and realize their own strengths,” said Oberhelman. “On behalf of the entire Camp Corral team and the children we serve, thank you.”
