Camp Rainbow Inc. Kicks Off Fundraising with 2nd Annual Casino Royale Event
The Montgomery County camp is betting an April 23 fundraiser will help the nonprofit group.
Fundraising for Montgomery County’s Camp Rainbow Inc. is a high stakes event.
Perhaps that’s why the board is hoping to hit the jackpot for a second straight year. Last year’s inaugural Casino Royale fundraiser netted $21,000 for the nonprofit camp.
Organizers are placing bets on the April 23 Casino Royale event being just as beneficial – if not more so – than last year.

Held at J.P. Mascaro & Sons corporate headquarters in Audubon, the event features five sponsorship options – ranging from $250 to $1,500 - as well as $100 tickets. In all, 200 tickets are available.
The 65-year-old camp each year fundraises to replenish its roughly $160,000 budget, which provides a week-long overnight camping experience for several hundred deserving Montgomery County children. This year’s camping season begins on June 26 and continues through Aug. 12.

It costs $267 for each camper’s week-long overnight camping experience. The camp subsidizes the bulk of those fees in addition to covering regular maintenance, salaries and the cost of camping supplies and equipment.
