The annual SATH Cutie Pie and Cutie Pie contests at the 2016 Highland County Fair this year raised a total of $3,000 for KAMP Dovetail.
KAMP (Kids And Motivated People) Dovetail is a volunteer run summer camp sponsored by Supplementary Assistance to The Handicapped (SATH), a non-profit organization. The camp is for children with disabilities in Highland and surrounding counties of Ohio.
The camp is held at the Rocky Fork Lake State Park in Highland County. Each child who visits our camp is teamed with their very own camp volunteer. None of the individuals at our camp are paid for their time. Each and every person is there solely for the purpose of ensuring that the campers enjoy their week at camp.
The volunteer staff works diligently all year long to secure donations of cash and supplies from area merchants and individuals. This combination of an all volunteer staff and their yearlong fundraising campaigns allow Dovetail to offer its camp at a fraction of the cost charged by other similar camps. Dovetail has been operating in this fashion for over 30 years.
Each year the camp staff selects a theme that the camp will operate under for that year. The 2016 theme was KAMP Dovetail-Candy Camp.
SATH Executive Director Linda Allen said the organization would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Cutie Pie & Pet Contests such a huge success.
