The Clarkston SCAMP announces its receipt of a $5,000 donation from the Bloomfield Hills branch office of Smith Barney. The funds were donated through Citigroup Foundation as part of a local contribution program conducted at Smith Barney branches across the country.
Lou Melone, CFP, vice-president investments, presented the check to Donna Clancy, Executive Director for the North Oakland SCAMP Funding Corporation. The money will fund scholarships to SCAMPers.
SCAMP has been providing a summer camp experience for individuals with special needs in northern Oakland County and southern Genesee County since 1976. The focus of this five-week, fun-filled program is to build self-esteem and maintain academic achievement through recreational activities and social events.
‘We are glad to support organizations that have a meaningful impact on the areas where we live and work,? said Melone, who headed the initiative and selection process on behalf of Smith Barney.
