YMCA Camp No Worries Hosts 20th Anniversary Celebration Gala

The YMCA of Burlington and Camden Counties’ Camp No Worries will host a 20th Anniversary Celebration Gala on Friday, October 3 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Aloft Hotel in Mt. Laurel.

Sponsored by TD Bank, Friends and Family of Nyla Morton, IMS Health and M&T Bank, the fun-filled evening will feature dinner and dancing, wine and beer, hors d’oeuvres and a silent auction, with all proceeds benefitting Camp No Worries.

Since 1994, Camp No Worries, a program of the Y, has opened its doors to more than 1,700 children with cancer and their siblings. For one week every summer, Camp No Worries provides children ages 6 through 16 - all of whom are dealing the a diagnosis of cancer in some way, whether they are patients, survivor’s siblings or bereaved siblings – the opportunity to have fun and forget about their troubles.

Run solely by volunteers, Camp No Worries depends on the generosity and financial support of community organizations, businesses, foundations and individuals to provide each camper a free week of summer camp.

The Gala will take place at the Aloft Hotel located at 558 Fellowship Road in Mount Laurel. Tickets are available for purchase in person at both the Mt. Laurel YMCA and the Burlington-Riverfront YMCA, online at www.ymca-bc.org or by calling 856.231.9622 x232.
