WE REACHED OUR GOAL FOR CAMP GROM!
Since its inception by the Virginia Gentlemen Foundation,
Camp Grom has been a project that our team has felt very passionate about. As a whole, our restaurant group - the South End Trifecta consisting of Waterman's Surfside Grille, Chix on the Beach and The Shack on 8th - made a $500,000 commitment to Camp Grom when the idea of it was just that – a vision. As plans were laid and progress on the project began, so did our fundraising efforts.
By donating proceeds from various events we hosted over
the course of 5 years - such as Crush Fest, Fall Fest, the Mid-Atlantic Rockfish Shootout, and Crush N' Run, we ultimately reached our goal of a half a million dollar commitment, on April 7, 2018!
JT's Camp Grom, operated by the YMCA, is a day retreat developed especially for wounded veterans and their families, the families of fallen war heroes, and children and adults with differing abilities. It is a special place where everyone in the family can spend time and participate, together. Unlike traditional camps, Camp Grom delivers a unique, integrated and adaptive day of activities surrounded by family and friends. Adventure activities have often been frustratingly out of reach for adults and children living with differing abilities. YMCA JT's Camp Grom will allow these individuals to take part in personal development activities, educational programs, and entertainment and social gatherings, sending participants home with a new sense of confidence—empowering them and improving their quality of life.
