Wake resident Sawyer Laster, 11, reacts recently after being recognized as the top youth fundraiser for the Jan. 27 APYC/YMCA Camp Kekoka Polar Bear Plunge.
Through the plunge, 51 hardy individuals braved the frigid winter water of Indian Creek and raised $45,957, which will enable more than 50 children, ages 9-15, an opportunity this summer to attend Camp Kekoka, which is at 1083 Boys Camp Road in Kilmarnock. Donations for Camp Kekoka are accepted year-round. To donate, call Ana Mae Morrow at 804-435-3616 or email her at anamae.morrow@ymcavp.org.
