The proceeds from this year’s fundraising will go toward two enriching camps at Harc for children and youth ages 3 - 21. Capable Kids (summer camp) and Camp Bulova (year-round program) are 100% funded through private donations and grants. The children with intellectual or developmental disabilities who attend the camps are given the opportunity to engage with their peers of all abilities, cultures, and backgrounds.

“We are so grateful to the people who donated, to Webster Bank for the match, and to the Travelers Championship for continuing their support for nonprofits across the state,” said Maureen Madden, Chief Philanthropy and Marketing Officer at Harc. “Because of their generosity, we will be able to serve more children and families this year.”
