Beds For Heads

This summer we will be welcoming 1,100 4-H’ers back to camp where they will have the opportunity
to explore, have fun, be creative, and learn! Before the first group of campers arrive, we must raise $15,000, through our new campaign “Beds for Heads,” in order to purchase new bunk beds for Oak Lodge. We are excited to use Oak Lodge this year because that means more campers!

Each set of wood, steel reinforced bunks costs $1,000 and includes mattresses, ladders, and safety rails. We're asking camp supporters to help us reach this goal and secure these beds for our campers'
heads!

In order to reach our goal we have a special way of fundraising. Each week, Iowa State University Collegiate 4-H and Alumni volunteers make calls to donors to raise funds to support the efforts of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. This on-going fundraising effort raises vital dollars to support programs and opportunities for Iowa's 4-H’ers."It is a great way for me to give back. As a 4-H alum from Mahaska County, I personally benefited from the Iowa 4-H Foundation and the support they provided from club dues to Iowa 4-H Camp support," said Ashley Kinkade, Iowa 4-H Foundation's Call-a-thon Coordinator. "As we call donors, it is a wonderful opportunity for callers to connect with them, for donors to stay updated on what's happening in the world of 4-H, and for us to thank donors for their continued support." The Call-a-thon will be calling to talk with camp supporters and answer any questions about “Beds for Heads.”

Donors will receive special recognition:                                                                                                      
            ● A $1,000 donation buys one entire bunk bed set                   and will be recognized with a plaque on the bed.
             ● A $500 donation buys one bed and mattress and
              donors will be listed on a plaque in the lodge.
             ● A $250 donation buys two mattresses and donors
              will be listed on our website.
             ● A $100 donation buys one mattress and donors
              will be listed on our website.
