Congratulations to our 2024 Award Winners: Ryan Fritz (Camper of the Year), Jim Decker (Phyllis Golinvaux Award), and Bob Slattery (Hall of Fame). The awards were announced at the Celebrating All Abilities Gala on Wednesday, March 6.
The Dubuque Racing Association (DRA) has awarded Camp Albrecht Acres $10,000 for our Employee Incentive Program. Camp Albrecht Acres appreciates the continued support from DRA which allows us to attract the staff that makes our camp special.
“The continued support from the community is what make our camp a special place” said Eric Veltstra, executive director,” The financial support from DRA has supported many projects in the past and allows us to provide a fun, safe and challenging environment for our campers”.
We wanted to take a moment to thank Skip Breitbach Feeds for the generous donation of grass seed and fertilizer for our lawn. If you have ever visited Camp, you know just how much grass we have! We are so incredibly thankful for this donation and Skip's continued support over the years.
Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 2024 Celebrating All Abilities Gala on Wednesday, March 6.
Shoutout to Tapestry for the live music, Kevin Cattani for emceeing, Jesse Meyer and Dagwood for auctioneering, Hotel Julien Dubuque for hosting, Candle Ready Cakes for the cupcakes, all of the table sponsors, and to everyone who attended to support Camp Albrecht Acres.
Camp Albrecht Acres recently purchased a new utility tractor just in time for the snow! We may not be thrilled with how early the snow made its appearance this year, but we are very thankful for our generous donors who made it possible for us to purchase this tractor. It has definitely come in handy! We would just like to say a big "Thank You" to the Dubuque Racing Association, the Wahlert Foundation, the Schoen Family Charitable Trust, Roger Simon, the James & Melita McDonough Foundation, and the Optimist Club of Dubuque for their generous donations that made this tractor possible.
Thank you to 100+ Women Who Care - Dubuque
Your donation of $13,700 will impact the lives of many! We truly appreciate the support from your generous members! Thank you all so much for being a part of our mission and supporting our campers!
