Make a Difference for Enid Youth!
Summertime is approaching and many children don’t have the opportunity to attend a summer camp due to limited family income. That is why the Enid Chamber of Commerce and Vance Air Force Base partner each year to offer Camp Tomahawk, a summer camp serving the underprivileged children in our community. Approximately $150 covers all costs for one child for the week. Any donation is much appreciated!
If you would like to make a difference for a child this summer, please send your contribution to the
Enid Chamber, 210 Kenwood Blvd. Enid, OK 7302 or contact:
