The O.D. Shag Club supports many Charities throughout the year 2009

The O.D. Shag Club board selects the charities we will sponsor and through the help and participation of our members,

we are able to make donations to local charities. We are proud of our club and members.

Camp Kemo

We are proud that O.D. Shag Club could donate $1,000 to Camp Kemo during Spring SOS and $3,000 to during Fall SOS, which is a total for the year of $4,000. There is an auction held twice a year on the last Sunday of SOS and all proceeds are donated to Camp Kemo. Camp Kemo is a camp for children with cancer and their families. For these kids it may be a brief moment of joy in a life that has its share of pain and fear, and the week-long camp can provide them with a normal childhood experience.
