We're excited at the prospect of returning to Camp Mather this summer. And in that spirit, we are once again calling on all artists and aspiring designers to help us imagine the annual Camp Mather.
If your answer is yes, we want to see your design! Please email your design by February 15, 2022, to focm@campmather.org for consideration. Some technical nitty-gritty: Designs must be submitted as a high-quality digital image file, such as an Illustrator, EPS, SVG, or other vector format file. Also, remember that your design will need to be silk-screened onto a colored t-shirt, so clear, bold lines work best. Shading and color make images more difficult to use. All proceeds from the shirt sales will benefit Friends of Camp Mather. We can’t wait to see your design! Friends,
Camp Mather is scheduled to reopen next summer, but we need your help today. This winter, Friends of Camp Mather already is preparing and working to help Camp and its users. From big expenses like a brand-new sports court, to ongoing needs such as naturalist supplies, to cabin comforts such as a new dresser or mattress... these are just some of the ways the work of Friends of Camp Mather supports and enhances the Camp experience. But none of this is possible without the generosity of supporters like you, because Friends of Camp Mather relies on donations from campers and the community to do our work. Funds raised by Friends of Camp Mather go right back to Camp — with practically zero overhead and an all-volunteer Board of Directors and staff, your gift will be put to great use. This Giving Tuesday and beyond, consider making a donation to Friends of Camp Mather. Whether you are able to make a one-time gift of $35, $65, or $125 — or an ongoing pledge every month — your contribution is a vital part of improving the Mather experience for everyone. Friends of Camp Mather is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so your donation not only will support Camp, but also may qualify as a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. Consult with your tax adviser or the IRS to determine whether your contribution is deductible. Please make a donation today. Your gift will make a difference and enhance every camper’s experience… next summer and in the years to come. |
