MyCityRocks worked with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA -- Jerry's Kids) to support a music festival that raised funds for the MDA's Camp For All... an environment where campers, all young people ages 6 - 21 and living with neuromuscular diseases, can enjoy the same experiences that healthy kids do at no cost to their families. The campers call it the "best week of their lives" as they enjoy a "barrier free" camp with loads of fun and memorable experiences. Then on Labor Day, we joined with the MDA again to support their annual Labor Day telethon. (Additional photos in the MyCityRocks MDA Photo Archive.)
