100% of the proceeds are being donated to the Rochester YMCA's Camp Gorham

Since 1961, the Rochester YMCA’s Camp Gorham, located in Eagle Bay, NY, has been providing Adirondack camping experiences for children.  Each summer Gorham campers experience many journeys – from spending time away from home and bonding with new friends to bolder quests like mountain hikes and sleeping in Adirondack lean-to’s.  Gorham’s summer camp focuses on teamwork, fosters self-worth and teaches campers to value diversity.  Our campers learn to exceed their own expectations, build self-confidence and become role models. 

A donation to Camp Gorham enables us to give the gift of a summer camp experience to children that want to attend.  Through full and partial camperships, we ensure that no child’s financial situation prevents them from participating in our programs.  This year our Project 212 fundraising campaign provided assistance to at least 212 campers over the summer camping season, and we hope to be able to continue our commitment.

Event Background:

In 2010, Fleet Feet Sports started the event in response to the relief effort for Haiti.  The event was so much fun and a great start to a day that is similar to an "American Holiday" that owners, Boots & Ellen, decided to do it annually and choose different organizations to support.  This year the Rochester YMCA's Camp Gorham was selected because it provides Rochester area youth a unique camping experience in the majestic Adirondack Mountains.
