OTHER, Fla. - Sept. 25, 2019 - PRLog -- Each year, the Village Church, Women's Connection at Shell Point selects a community project or organization as the beneficiary of their annual Christmas fundraiser.  This year, they have chosen The Robert V. & Benjamin G. Miller/Trailways Camp to be the recipient. The event will take place on December 11, 2019 at 2:00 pm at the Village Church at 15101 Shell Point Blvd, Fort Myers.

Tickets are $10.00 and must be purchased in advance. They will be available in October and November. All proceeds will be donated back on the day of the event to the Robert V. & Benjamin G. Miller Fund for Trailways Camp scholarships.

Trailways Camp is an overnight camping experience for adults with disabilities in Southwest Florida.  Camp Founders and Shell Point residents, Sharon and Jerry Miller, will lead the hour long program by narrating their story. Community partners will be introduced, and videos from camp will be shown. Several campers will be singing as part of the program. A dessert and refreshments will be provided.  A resource table with information about the camps, an opportunity to talk with the Trailways Team, and an opportunity to sign-up for various volunteer activities will be available at the event.

Trailways campers enjoy fishing, canoeing, arts and crafts, swimming, campfires, and nature walks.  It also provides respite for caregivers and an opportunity for campers to develop social connections and recreational skills.  Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida, Inc. has been the service provider for the Trailways Camps since October 2012, and last year the camp had three camping events with 60 campers.

Trailways Camp has a new Coordinator, Anna Mullvain.  She has experience in special education and physical education. She was an All American Basketball player and was active in Special Olympics. She has joined the Trailways team after working in the Pathways to Opportunity Program of Goodwill Industries of SW Florida, Inc., and can be reached at annamullvain@goodwillswfl.org or 239-995-2106, Ext. 2312.
