Camp Dreamcatcher has been named one of the five winners of the GILDAN "I SUPPORT" CONTEST! Each year Gildan selects five charities that demonstrate Genuine Stewardship to receive grants to support their programs. Camp Dreamcatcher was the recipient of Gildan's "Accountability Award" and received an award of $10,000 at a ceremony in Philadelphia on Feb. 24, 2012. In addition, thanks to our supporters who voted for us and nominated us, we received $4,650 in donations through the Gildan Good Card (Network for Good) Campaign. This award and donations will allow Camp Dreamcatcher to continue to provide its programs and services to our special community. The Accountability Award requires that the recipient "can articulate goals for the organization clearly and hold oneself accountable to shareholders (donors, communities impacted, recipients of assistance, etc. in the case of Charities) for the achievement of these goals. Subsequently, one should be able to track and report progress in credible ways to these shareholders to be worthy of their continued support. "Accountability extends to how one motivates and activates the community that surrounds the organization as well, which in the case of charities is composed of volunteers as well as recipients. " Camp Dreamcatcher is thrilled to have received this award, as it is testament to Camp Dreamcatcher's continuing efforts to create a community that has a significant and measurable impact in the lives of youth who have been affected by HIV/AIDS. We want to thank everyone who voted for us in this contest, as well as our wonderful volunteers!
