On August 12, 2003, we were devastated by the loss of Dave Altschuler, Adam Cohen, Jonah Richman and Jordan Satin, when one of the boys fell into a raging river and in a final act of friendship the other three jumped in to try and save him without a moment of hesitation.  For most of us, not a day goes by that we do not think of them.  It was in their honor that the Baco Boys Fund was formed.  The Baco Boys Fund is a New York non-profit organization formed to offer the summer camp experiences that meant so much to David, Adam, Jonah, and Jordan, to less fortunate children who otherwise might not be able to afford such an opportunity.  

For the past six summers, the Baco Boys Fund has been changing children's lives.  This past summer we sent ten campers, three first time campers and seven returning campers, to different sleepaway summer camps where they were able to learn, grow and have fun with their peers.  At camp, where counselors teach and serve as excellent role models, all of our campers excelled and they continue to thrive both at camp and at home from the experiences they gained while at camp.  Those close to our campers report that they are anxiously awaiting next summer so they can return to camp and the friends they made.  The Baco Boys Fund has made a commitment to each camper to sponsor them each and every summer until their time as a camper has run its course.

Thanks to our generous supporters, children are given the opportunities that many of us often take for granted.  Today, more than ever, we are reminded that there are numerous families who can use our help.  Sending a less fortunate child to sleepaway camp not only gives a child the chance to grow into a strong, confident, and skilled adult, but it eases and enriches his or her family’s lives as well.
