Help Send Kids to Camp! Get Your Car Washed on June 8


Calling all dirty cars!

Goochland Young Life will host a car wash on Saturday June 8 from 9 a.m. until the cars stop coming, at Taylors' Exxon, 1924 Sandy Hook Road in Goochland.

The money raised will help Goochland High School students who want to go to Young Life’s Windy Gap Camp in July.  And who wouldn’t want to go? It’s the best week of your life!

We’ve got a bus that could fit nearly 50 kids. But some of them need help to cover the cost of camp. YOU and your dirty car can help.

As a matter of fact, you can even bring your clean car if you want to!

2013 Dodge Ball Tourney!

There’s just nothing like the sting of a rubber ball thrown with just the right backspin.

Yes – you guessed right! Goochland Young Life hosted its 2013 Dodge Ball Tournament on May 11.

We’re happy to report that $500 was raised. That money will help Goochland High School students who want to go to Young Life’s Windy Gap Camp this summer.  And who wouldn’t want to go? It’s the best week of your life!

The tourney promised the winning team a scholarship worth HALF the price of camp. Turns out, the winning team knew how great a week at camp is because they’d been there before.  They really wanted a friend of theirs to experience camp, too, and so they decided to GIVE AWAY their winnings – they asked for the half-scholarship to go toward their friend’s camp costs! What a great example of kids loving their friends in a life-changing way!

If you get a chance, help us thank GHS Athletic Director Bryan Gordon for letting us have the tourney in the gym!
