Dear Companion,

The Findlay Council #50 Royal & Select Masons of Ohio is requesting your assistance in supporting our 2010-2011 fund raising campaign for the diabetic kids fund. Our goal is to reach $10,000 in donations to sponsor school age children to attend Camp Berry in Findlay, Ohio.

Every penny contributed to the DIABETIC KIDS FUND is used to send children to diabetic camps. The Diabetic Kids Fund provides camper ships to enable needy children to attend camp. At these diabetic camps they learn to take control of their lives while having fun in a recreational camp setting offering biking, swimming, arts & crafts, games, etc. These diabetic children are growing up together learning about diabetes and how to enjoy a productive life.

Six Ohio resident camps for school age children are supported by the Diabetic Kids Fund. They are located near Findlay, Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. Each camp is staffed by pediatric diabetes educators and a complete medical staff of doctors, nurses and dietitian. Trained agency camp personnel select the children to attend camp.



About 1000 kids attend these special camps each year and about half need financial assistance.

Council members have been proud to help children attend these special camps since 1978.

The Diabetic Kids Fund is officially recorded as the Grand Council Benevolent Fund, Inc. by the Internal Revenue Service which issued a letter in 2002 recognizing it as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charitable organization. The Fund has no employees. Operation of the Fund is handled entirely by Grand Council volunteers, which permits every penny collected to be used to help a diabetic child.

Checks may be made payable to the Diabetic Kids Fund and sent to the Findlay Masonic Complex, 303 Osborn Ave, Findlay Ohio, 45840. Attention: Findlay Council Diabetic Kids Fund
