Benchworks Supports Dragonfly Heart Camp 5k

Monday, April 12th - 2010

 

CHESTERTOWN, MD-- Dragonfly Heart Camp is a very special summer camp for children who have received a heart and/or lung transplant, or are diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension. It is the first camp in the country that is specifically designed to accommodate children with these complex cardio-pulmonary conditions. Dragonfly Heart Camp is staffed with medical experts who donate their time to make this camp a reality for kids with these challenging health needs. The cost to send one camper to camp is $1,500.00 per child and through fundraising efforts like the second annual Dragonfly Heart Camp 5K and 1 Mile Run all campers attend this camp for free.

In support of this incredible non-profit organization Benchworks participated as a sponsor of the event as well as active runners in the 5K. Sponsorship included helping to provide t-shirts for the top 100 finishers of the 5K race which took place in Stillpond, MD. Benchworks runners included President, Thad Bench; Senior Vice President, Melissa Johnston; Art Director, Greg Waddell; and Account Manager, Ashlee Vosters.
