Igniting Possibilities in Every Kid.

A Luncheon Experience

Camp Fire USA Lone Star Council hosted the highly successful Igniting Possibilities in Every Kid - A Luncheon Experience.  Three hundred supporters gathered at the Belo Mansion Pavilion in downtown Dallas on October 7 to help build awareness of the Lone Star Council’s programs and the impact that is being made in our community.  We are eternally grateful to Mary Kay Inc, Brinker International, Yvette Franco, and Grant Thornton for underwriting the event which leveraged our ability to generate over $60,000 in badly needed operating support.

While the event at the Belo Mansion Pavilion marked the end of the Lone Star Council’s celebration of Camp Fire USA’s centennial anniversary, the success of the event will endure for years to come because of the funds raised and the hundreds of new relationships that have been fostered.

Camp Fire USA Lone Star Council is the premier provider of afterschool programs in low-income apartment communities.  Our mission is to build caring, confident youth and future leaders.  During the past year we provided free services to more than 1,400 at-risk youth in Dallas, Collin and Denton Counties.  Our programs instill a sense of self-worth through academic enrichment, service learning and youth development while keeping youth safe, free of drugs, violence and gangs, and on a path to success beyond high school.
