Cascade Eagles Pathfinders
Burlington, Washington
Cause Description:
The Cascade Eagles Pathfinders are located in Burlington, WA, in the beautiful Skagit Valley. We are a young boys and girls club for both boys and girls, in grades 5 through 10. (Please Note: Pathfinders is a worldwide ministry of the Seventh Day Adventist Church)
Our club is raising funds for the, once every Five Years, North American Division (NAD) Pathfinder Camporee in Oshkosh, WI, next August, 2014. The theme is: Daniel - 'Forever Faithful'.
Over 38,000 Pathfinders, from all over the World, will be in attendance at this event and any club not in easy driving range of Oshkosh faces significant fundraising barriers.
In order for us to take a minimum of 65 Pathfinders and staff, we need to raise at least $50,000.00. Currently, we have raised and saved just over $25,000.00, which means we need to double our savings in less than 18 months. The reason we are short on funds is that our club has experienced Incredible Growth in our numbers since the last Oshkosh Camporee in 2009. From numbers of 14 we have grown every year by an average of 10 new Pathfinders and currently have 41 Pathfinders this year! Next year we expect a minimum enrollment of 50; but these numbers could swell beyond this, being what we call an, "Oshkosh Year".
We Thank You for supporting us in our fundraising efforts and may God Bless you all Richly.
