THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone in the Kesem GW community for all of your incredible support this Giving Tuesday!! 🎉💌

Although we ended the week just shy of our $70,000 goal, we are a little over halfway done with our goal of $120,000 for the year, and we raised more than we did last year on Giving Tuesday! This brings us closer to serving even more campers in the DMV area than we were able to last summer 🤸‍♀️☀️ This wouldn't be possible without all of your support!! Thank you so much, it's truly appreciated & camp happens because of all of you 💚💙

Kesem at GW invites you to treat yourself and your community to some Krispy Kreme donuts this Thanksgiving! 🍩 One dozen costs $15, with 50% of that being donated back to Kesem at GW :) Purchase yours using the link below!

https://www.groupraise.com/offer-campaigns/68258-camp-kesem-gw-krispy-kreme-digital-dozens/5TC26B?itm_campaign=tm_signup&itm_content=hero_team_list&itm_medium=tm_signup&itm_source=www.groupraise.com

How it works ~
When you purchase a ‘digital dozen’ supporting Kesem, you will receive an online code to redeem in-store at any time and any Krispy Kreme location nationwide. If you buy your donuts ahead of time, make sure to save the link or screenshot your barcode so that you can find it later (to access your barcode, you must click ‘reveal code’). At the register, the cashier will scan the barcode, which will act as your payment method for one dozen original glazed donuts!
