YMCA Big Camp Adventure starts with community breakfast

Thursday is ‘Fill the Bus Activation Day’ for the North Bay YMCA.

A breakfast event, from 7 am to 9 am, includes Country 90.5 CFCH morning host Kevin Oschefski and 106.3 Jet FM morning host Mike Monaghan broadcasting live from the Y on Chippewa Street.

They’re fueling up for their YMCA Big Camp Adventure, a fundraising competition which takes them to businesses and organizations around the city.

“Mike and I will be going across the city competing in camp adventure competitions,” says Oschefski. “Mike typically wins. Last year I did a little bit better. We’ll see how this year turns out, but ultimately the winners are the kids who get to go to camp.”

The community is invited out to breakfast to learn more about this year’s Fill the Bus campaign and the impact of YMCA camps in our community.

Funds raised help children and youth in North Bay access YMCA day camps, overnight camp experiences and leadership development opportunities, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.

Last year’s campaign raised more than $121,000, helping hundreds of children go to camp.

21 Blue Sky Region Realty has returned a matching sponsor this year for the Fill the Bus campaign.
