Balloons For Campers
The signature red balloons will be flying proudly on mailboxes all over Darien on Saturday, May 18, when Opus for Person-to-Person hosts its annual Balloons for Campers Day, a fundraising initiative to help send underprivileged children to summer day camps.  

Balloons for Campers Day is a fundraiser that will help send more than 600 elementary and middle school children from low-income families to summer camps in the greater Stamford area. Last year more than 20 different summer camps participated in the Person-to-Person Campership Program, providing safe and positive environments for these children during the summer months while alleviating their parents' childcare concerns.

OPUS for Person-to-Person volunteers have delivered flyers to every mailbox in Darien. On Saturday, May 18, the same volunteers will place red balloons on mailboxes of those town residents and businesses who have contributed toward Balloons for Campers Day.

People interested in supporting this fundraiser or volunteering to serve as a Balloon Day block captain to help distribute balloons should contact Katie Kern at or visit the Opus for Person-to-Person website at www.opus4p2p.org.
