Shamrocks for Summer Camp
When you buy a shamrock between March 1– March 17, you’ll help send a local child with muscle disease to summer camp!

About the MDA Shamrocks Program
Macey’s, Dan’s, Dick’s Market, Lin’s, and Fresh Market stores will be selling shamrock icons March 1– March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. Shamrock sales support MDA’s Summer Camp, held at Camp K in Salt Lake City. Camp provides thousands of kids with muscular dystrophy and related life-threatening diseases “the best week of the year” giving kids with limited muscle strength and mobility a life-changing experience in an environment without barriers. It’s a week where they’re free to enjoy adventures like horseback riding, swimming and fishing, develop lifelong friendships, build self-confidence and independence that are critical to living longer and growing stronger.
The cost of sending one child to MDA Summer Camp is about $2,000. This includes MDA’s efforts to make each camp fully-accessible and medically-safe, matching volunteer counselors with campers, providing a full medical team on-site along with medical equipment, offering meals and snacks for each child that meet an array of dietary needs and restrictions, providing lodging for a week and offering customized activities designed and planned so every child can fully participate.

About the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA)
The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the only nonprofit taking a big picture perspective on muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases that take away muscle strength and mobility. MDA uses their collective strength to encourage early diagnosis and action, support families in hometowns across the country and find breakthrough treatments and cures, so kids and adults affected can live longer and grow stronger. MDA is fighting to make today free from the harm of these debilitating diseases – and tomorrow free from the diseases themselves.

We would like to thank our generous guests for helping support local children with muscle disease.
