R.A.T., Inc is a solely volunteer-run organization that continues to seek the financial and in-kind support needed to run camp programs for HIV-positive children and their families. Because families attend camp programs at no cost, direct sponsorship of individual campers and/or families is needed. A $100 donation supports an individual.A $500 donation supports an average sized family to attend one weekend camp program.Donations of materials are also sought to make our camps fun! Materials include arts and crafts items (e.g., paper, glue, scissors, markers, crayons, etc,), new sports equipment (e.g., fishing rods, basketballs, tennis, baseball, golf equipment), gift certificates for local crafts, sporting goods, and/ or grocery stores.In-kind donations of professional services including: tee-shirt printing, meal sponsorships, bus/ transportation services, etc. are also needed.Are you part of an entertainment group or do you have a special talent you’d like to share? R.A.T., Inc. is always looking for in-kind and volunteers to donate entertainment services (dance troupes, D.J.’s, etc.) as well as special skills sets to teach a camp class (e.g., beading, drumming, etc.)
