The Camp Gray Benefit Dinner annually raises approximately $20,000 – money that is earmarked for both our building improvement fund, and our camper aid fund. The camper aid fund was established to ensure that all campers, regardless of financial restraints, are able to experience the life changing mission of Camp Gray.  If you’re interested in attending the dinner, or you’re able to donate silent auction items (sports tickets and trip destinations are always popular!), please let us know!
