THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
This first ever virtual fundraiser was a huge success!  We had so many great donors and contributors.  Our goal was $23,000 to finish up what we needed to send 12 at-risk youth to Camp Iron Sights this June.  You blew the top off our fundraising thermometer with a total of $23,765!
Watch our Live Facebook Feed Finale below and hear some heartfelt and moving testimonials from past campers.

APRIL 1 –APRIL 15, 2021 at 6 pm On-line Finale Night

Guiding Influence is an Alaska Registered 501c3 status Non-Profit organization which provides opportunities for youth to attend Camp Iron Sights and other life enhancing mentoring programs.

The total cost of the camp is $56,000. $4650 per boy. So far $32,000 has been raised for this camp. We are looking to make our goal by raising $23,000 from this fundraiser you see below.
Due to our Covid circumstances, we are doing this online fundraising effort in lieu of an in-person option as we normally have done in the past. We are hopeful and grateful for any donation you can make today to help get these 12 boys to camp.
