Donors help Arc put new fence at Camp Rainbow
RIDGEWAY – The Arc of Orleans County used generous donations to replace the fence around the pool at Camp Rainbow.
The Orleans County Foundation provided $4,000, while the J.M. McDonald Foundation and George W. Hagerman Estate both provided $5,000 towards the project, which will also include some tree removal, said Darlene Golson, Arc community relations manager.
Camp is a five-week summer day camp at 2272 Townline Rd., open to children with or without disabilities.
“We had been looking for funding for this project for several years and it all came together in 2014,” Golson said. “The American Fence Company from Tonawanda did a great job ensuring that we met all code requirements as well as making it look beautiful.”
“We are truly grateful to the community residents, businesses, and foundations that support Camp Rainbow,” she said. “We couldn’t run this program without your support and generosity.”
