Camp Promise East is the brainchild of several families of children and adults with muscular dystrophy in the New England area who were inspired to hold their own camp in response to a lack of camp options for their children in 2009 during the H1N1 Flu Outbreak.

Our fund supports Camp Promise East because it gives teenagers and adults the same opportunities as any other child. The difference is that the experience is tailored to children and adults with muscle disease.

We do a variety of fundraisers to support Camp Promise during the year, including an "Adopt-A-Flying-Pig" program where customers and citizens sign their name to a "Flying Pig Mobile" in exchange for a donation to Camp Promise.

In addition to Camp Promise East, we've also begun fundraising for ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) Research. We support ALS-TDI because we've lost friends to this particular form of muscular dystrophy and want to carry on their memory.

Our fund supports ALS-TDI's cause by donating to the "ALS Tri State Trek" Bike Ride each year.

It's important to note - ALS-TDI's money is used for research, not a camp.
