Follow on Google News | Teen Organizes Santa Tram Volunteers To Provide Donations For CampPuyallup Freshman provides leadership for A Victorian Country Christmas fundraiser to benefit local disability camp.
By: Camp Promise West In 2012, her dance studio director, Shari Furnstahl, heard of Schubert’s desire to help Camp Promise West, and gave her the perfect opportunity by offering to let Schubert organize volunteers to drive the Santa Tram at her other business, A Victorian Country Christmas. This annual holiday festival is held at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup, December 4-8, 2013. The Santa Tram provides a way for shoppers to get from place to place. The Santa Tram, which will be staffed with volunteers provided by Schubert, will collect donations from the patrons. The Santa Tram is a tractor that pulls carts which are equipped with seating areas for visitors to receive a ride from building to building during the five day festival. It also provides holiday spirit by playing lively Christmas music and the cheerful faces of grateful Camp Promise volunteers. Camp Promise West is a program of the Jett Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit determined to fund a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Once a year in August, campers and volunteers come together for one week to give the campers the time of their lives. Schubert’s family helped to create the camp in 2009 when a lack of options for these specialized camps occurred during the H1N1 virus outbreak. Now Schubert and her family run the tram to earn money for the camp they help operate. "The camp is really a big part of my life," Samantha said, "I just hope that by earning the money for Camp Promise, it will help make memories to last a lifetime for my campers." Samantha uses her volunteer hours to make scholarship dollars through the Miss America Organization’ If you’d like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Samantha Schubert, please call Beth Schubert at 253.297.1771 or email at bethschubert@ End
