Jump For Ooch KRG
CHILDREN’S CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
Continues its commitment to Camp Oochigeas With 2nd annual Family Fun Festival and Wakeboard / Water-ski Show Saturday, August 11, 2007 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The Lake Joseph Club Lake Joseph, Muskoka ![]() For
24 years, Camp Oochigeas has been providing hope, self-esteem and the
magic of camp to thousands of children with cancer. Each
year, over 200 children affected by childhood cancer participate in
Camp Oochigeas programs at no cost to their families. The
sleepover camp would not exist if not for the generous contributions
made by corporations and individuals. Medical equipment along with
trained medical staff are on hand 24/7 throughout the summer months to
meet the needs of these campers. The KRG Children’s Charitable
Foundation has been a strong supporter of Camp Oochigeas since
2003. “We are continually looking at innovative and
inter-active ways to generate funds to help sustain the camp”
explains Steven Wise, Chairman of the KRG Children’s
Charitable Foundation. “Last year, we were excited
to launch “Jump for Ooch” – a water-ski
show organized by Summer Water Sports Inc. and hosted by the KRG
Children’s Charitable Foundation in association with ClubLink
and The Lake Joseph Club. Due to the crowd who attended and
the feedback received, we are thrilled to host the 2nd annual
“Jump for Ooch” on Saturday, August
11th”, continued Mr. Wise. The program features the
best water-skiers and wakeboarders in the entire Muskoka area and all of
Canada. Prior to the show, guests will enjoy a
complimentary family barbeque/picnic right on the grounds of the Lake
Joseph Club. Last year’s event welcomed well over
350 families on land and numerous families in boats enjoyed the show
from the water’s edge. Over 30 Summer Water Sports
staff comprised the show and corporate challenges pertaining to the ski
jumps resulted in over $10,000 being raised for Camp
Oochigeas. Plans for this year’s show are now
underway with the anticipation of even great numbers in attendance and
more money being raised for the kids at Camp Oochigeas.About the KRG Children’s Charitable Foundation: Founded almost twenty years ago, by Steven Wise, Chairman and CEO of KRG Insurance Group and the KRG Senior Management Team, the Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and much-needed funding for children facing obstacles.
