Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union to Match Channel 3 Kids Camp Telethon Funds

Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union is providing a matching grant to raise funds at the Channel 3 Kids Camp’s upcoming Telethon. The telethon, an annual fundraiser for the camp, will be aired live on Saturday March 4th on WFSB TV Channel 3 from 5am – 8am. Emceed by WFSB Meteorologist Scot Haney and reporter Nicole Nalepa, the telethon raises important funds to help bring children to camp that otherwise would not be able to afford such an experience.

Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union will be matching callers’ donations, dollar for dollar up to $10,000. “We hope donors will take advantage of this opportunity to have their contribution go twice as far” stated John Holt, NFSCU president & CEO. The match will only run through the end of the telethon. Those pledging $1,000 or more may appear on the live broadcast to deliver their donation in person. Arrangements for this need to be made in advance.

Channel 3 Kids Camp believes that ALL children deserve a camp experience. Its mission is to provide fun year-round opportunities to children of all abilities, families, and communities through recreational and educational programs that promote diversity, acceptance, and environmental appreciation. The nonprofit organization provides these opportunities through, traditional overnight and day camp summer programs, respite weekends, vacation camps, a teen leadership program, a year-round childcare center and visiting weekend groups. Channel 3 Kids Camp is located in Andover and Coventry Connecticut on 150 wooded acres alongside the Skungamaug River. The setting lends itself to welcoming nature, learning, and each other.
