Sea Girt Classic Car Show To Benefit Camp Sunshine

Over one hundred foreign and domestic pre-1977 cars will be selected for display at the Sea Girt, NJ National Guard Army Camp on October 5, 2002.Special notice will be given to the 50th Anniversary of the Corvette. Insupport of the event, General Motors will display five exciting concept cars, making the "Sea Girt Classic Car Show" a unique event. The show will run from 10 AM to 3 PM.

The Sea Girt Classic Car Show raises money to send New Jersey familiesto Camp Sunshine, a retreat for families who have children with life-threatening illnesses, such as cancer, kidney disease, lupus and juvenile diabetes. Since its inception in 1984, the camp has hosted over 3,400 familiesfrom forty states and nine different countries. Located on Lake Sabago in Maine, the program offers participating families recreational activities, professional counseling and workshops for parents, and on-site medical support. During their stay, families are renewed and strengthened, well siblings are made to feel important too, and children who struggle against terrible diseases are freed to be just kids again. The camp is staffed almost entirely by volunteers. There is no charge to attending families. The costs are paid by donations and fundraising events.

This year in light of September 11th, a portion of the proceeds will be given to the Family Support Program of the 108th New Jersey Air National Guard. Since 9/11, the men and women have been placed on active duty providing midair refueling for planes flying in Afghanistan and along the east coast of the US.

            

History

 

In 1999 the Horan family of Sea Girt, NJ lost their seven year old daughter, Bridget, to a brain tumor. Several years earlier, on a visit to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Horans first learned about Camp Sunshine. That summer, at Camp Sunshine, their whole family was able to do something that families of kids with serious illnesses rarely get to do. They were able to relax and have fun. Knowing that medical support was immediately available, the entire family enjoyed each other's company and the peace andnatural beauty of the camp. In 1999, just months before Bridget died, the Horans returned to Camp Sunshine. It was a time of peace and happy memories.      

Bridget's life has inspired many people in the local community. In the past two years local fundraisers have sponsored NJ families to attend thecamp. This year a larger effort is being made to enable even more familiesto have a week's respite at Camp Sunshine.
