Owners, staff, campers and volunteers at Rosemount Camping Resort in Lewistown Valley held their 27th annual fundraising benefit today (Saturday, July 19, 2014) to raise funds for Avenue’s Schuylkill County Therapeautic Riding Program (SCTRP).
The event consisted of horseback riding, food, Chinese auction and other events.
Benefit organizer Diann Belsak, who also serves activities coördinator for the resort, praised the support from volunteers and those who came in support.
Campground owners Mike and Marigrace Confield also stated their appreciation to all participants, area businesses and all the volunteers that came together to make the event a traditional success. “This event serves as one of our main benefit fundraisers for the year,” said Mike Confield during last year’s benefit.
“This is a great benefit we run to help raise funds for the program,” said Marigrace, who added that she met her husband 28 years ago while volunteering at a related cerebral palsy fundraiser.
