Hi there my little dorm room buddy.

Now that Fall has officailly begun, I was wondering how everyone spent their summer. Hopefully it was a great one full of sun and fun.

I do know of a few that actually did have a wonderful summer, and for one I was happy to play a very small part in their stories.

I’m talking about the nearly 8,000 kids who attended a Fresh Air Fund camp this summer, and had the time of their lives.

You’ve probably read a few of my posts about the Fresh Air Fund before, but just in case, they are an independent, not-for-profit agency, that has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877

Yep, you read that right - 1 8 7 7!

Want to know how it all started? Well there’s a great story about that on their website that you can read HERE.

Oh, and while you’re there, you can see a great video “highlight reel” of some those 8000 kids having a great time this past summer.

If you ever wanted to feel like you’ve “made a difference”, then do something for a child. Trust me

And one of the best things you can do is give a child a great summer! So head on over to The Fresh Air Fund and check out how you can help.

Believe me, it’s well worth it
