“2,178 miles. 4 guys. 1 summer and 1 mission: 1 kitchen”
Appalachian Trail Fundraiser
 
As Laurel Ridge celebrates our 50th anniversary, we also look to the future and how we can improve our existing facilities, many of which have been used since our first camp in 1960. Few people know that the Summer Camp Kitchen has had few structural improvements over the years; recently the North Carolina State Health Department released updated codes for residential camp kitchens and set a compliance date of May 2012. After extensive review and planning, Laurel Ridge has determined that our Summer Camp Kitchen needs to be rebuilt and we estimate that this will cost at least $300,000.
An adventurous and dedicated group of Laurel Ridge supporters is excited to hike the Appalachian Trail as a fundraiser for the new kitchen; their goal is $500,000. They would like to cover all construction and furnishing costs and in the event that there is money left over, they’d like to leave it in a fund for future kitchen updates.
If you would like to be a part of this exciting initiative, please click on the link below and complete the form. Supporters are able to pay per mile or with a donation of their choice. The hikers are also recruiting partners; becoming a partner means you commit to raising $2.00 per mile for a total of $4,365. Partners receive pledgecards and posters to help them as they raise money within their church, office, circle of friends, or community. For more information on becoming a partner, please email Roman Brady at bradymusic@gmail.com.
