Twas the night before the Wing Fest . . .

For the FIRST TIME in the 2024 Wing Challenge, WE HAVE A NEW LEADER!  

NYL LONG ISLAND 's flux capacitor has jetted the Suffolk County Crew into 1ST PLACE by a mere $8!! . . . knocking the DALLAS HOT WINGERS into 2nd.  Something tells us that this is going to be a SEE SAW BATTLE TIL THE BITTER END.

3RD PLACE SOPHIA'S CHICKS 👠 are within striking distance, with SLICK RICK JAMES in a close 4th.

While one team will walk away with a 1st place trophy, the real winners are CAMP GOOD MOURNING! CAMPERS!

THEY will benefit from your generosity, compassion and philanthropic hearts.

We thank EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU who have donated so far and shared CGM's! mission with your friends, family and colleagues.  We thank all the wing eaters for signing up for this FEAST FOR ALL!

On behalf of our campers, their families and the entire Camp Good Mourning! Team, thank you!  ❤️

***IMPORTANT***

It seems that some donors are not selecting  a particular wing eater when making a sponsorship.

PLEASE review your donation to make sure that it went to the person that you want it to go to.  We want to make sure your "vote" counts.

Contact online support if you need help making any changes.
