Urban Campout has returned!

After a two-year hiatus, Urban Campout, an all-adult fundraiser, returns in full swing on April 14, 2005, (7–10 p.m.). Being held at the Houston Texans Practice Bubble in Reliant Park, Urban Campout will provide many exciting activities for guests to enjoy, such as rock-climbing, a model race car race, a celebrity kissing booth, opportunities to kick a football through the goal posts, and sing songs around a campfire, among many other activities.

Janice McNair will be the honoree of this event. She is a past troop leader and a strong advocate for girls. Dorothy Goodykoontz, and Barbara and Larry Catuzzi will be the honorary co-chairs.

Food will be traditional camp meals, including s’mores. The live auction holds a special Houston Texans surprise and sponsors who contribute at the $10,000 level before February 1, 2005 will be invited to attend a cocktail reception in a player’s home. At the $5,000 level, you will have the opportunity to be recognized at one of the several planned activities. There are also several other sponsorship levels that individuals and corporations can select from, or you can purchase individual reservations ($125 per person).

Urban Campout was conceived in 1991 as an adult fundraiser, out of a need for yearly funding of the community outreach programs that benefit girls in Houston’s communities. Since Urban Campout’s inception, over 50,000 girls have been impacted by the more than $2 million dollars raised through the event.
