Bootcamp Benefit for the Concord Boys and Girls Club

The fundraising event will be held on Dec. 5, and hopes to raise $2,620.

On Saturday, Dec. 5, Jeremy’s Bootcamp will be donating all proceeds from classes to the Boys and Girls Club of Central New Hampshire.

All are welcome to participate by donating any amount of money to participate in a Bootcamp class.

The goal is to raise $2,620 (representative of the length of a marathon: 26.2 Miles) for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Hampshire. If met, this monetary goal will cover the weekly vacation fee for 25 children during the 2015 Winter Vacation Camp. This is the second year that Jeremy Woodward, owner of Jeremy’s Bootcamp has run this fundraiser. Last year, more than $1,500 was raised.

According to Jon Clay, Development Director for the Club, “Many of us remember school vacations as a lot of fun. They were a chance to go on trips, see our friends and enjoy a nice break from school. Unfortunately, not everybody sees school vacations in this same light. School provides our youth with basic rights such as warmth, safety and nutrition. It is difficult to believe, but access to these rights is not guaranteed for everybody in our community during school vacations.”

“The Club is happy to provide these basic rights to children when schools are closed,” he added. “Positive role models at the Club provide children with fun activities, such as arts & crafts, gym games, game room tournaments and field trips. Most importantly, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Hampshire provides healthy snacks and a nutritious dinner to every child that attends our camp.”
