Dr. John T. MacDonald Foundation Sends Miami-Dade Children to Camp

Children from the Miami-Dade County area will experience the life changing effects of Camp Boggy Creek thanks to a boost from the Dr. John T. MacDonald Foundation, Inc. The Foundation recently made a donation to cover the costs of Miami-Dade children’s attendance at Camp Boggy Creek.

Camp Boggy Creek is a year-round camp for children ages 7-16 who have chronic or life threatening illnesses. The camp, located on 232 acres in Eustis, Fla, allows children whose lives have been a series of medical procedures and hospital stays to enjoy summer camp as just a “kid.” Between early morning swims and evening campfires, children have a chance to enjoy the summer camp experience with others coping with the same illness or condition and realize that they are not alone. There is no charge to attend camp. Camp Boggy Creek is solely supported by contributions and donations from individuals, corporations and foundations.

The Dr. John T. MacDonald Foundation, Inc. is a private grant-making foundation, supporting projects and programs designed to improve, preserve or restore the health and health care of the people in Miami-Dade County. For more information or a grant application, please contact Ms. Kim Greene, Executive Director, 1550 Madruga Avenue, Suite 215, Coral Gables, FL 33146, (305) 667-6017, website: www.jtmacdonaldfdn.org.
