Take a Hike for Eagle Island
More than 170 participants took part in “Take a Hike for Eagle Island” fundraisers from May through July, raising $26,257 for the Friends of Eagle Island, Inc. (FEI). This first major fundraising effort drew alumnae and staff, their families, friends, kids hoping to be future Eagle Island campers, and community supporters. Hikes took place across the United States—in Maplewood and other New Jersey towns, the Midwest (to view an eagle’s nest), Los Angeles, and points in between—and further afield, like London and Australia. Individual organizers set their own locations and pace. This year’s organizers urge you to start planning your 2012 hike now. Don’t wait for the spring rush. If you participated this year, we want to see you again. And everyone who couldn’t make it—we look forward to welcoming you in ’12. Bring your friends, family, and neighbors. You can have it your way—jog, bike, walk, roller blade, skip or crawl. More hikes mean more money for our beloved camp.
