SCPCA Horse Show Raises Money for
Camp Kemo, Camp Courage and Camp Happy Days

In 1993, the Midland Pest Control Association held an equestrian festival to raise funds for the kids of Camp Kemo, a weeklong summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings. The South Carolina Pest Control Association soon joined the cause in 1997.

Today, the SCPCA Horse Show raises money for three camps: Camp Kemo, Camp Courage and Camp Happy Days. With the 2008 show, the SCPCA in conjunction with eight local pest control associations have raised more than $451,000 so far to help the camps and campers.

Please contact Wheeler Buff at (800) 323-3187 or via email if you would like to help with the horse show or contribute.

Sportsman Clay Shoot Benefits Kids at Camp Kemo

In April, the Pee Dee and Midland Pest Control Associations came together at the Sportsman Clay Shoot in Florence to raise more than $20,000 for Camp Kemo, which provides a weeklong camp experience for children with cancer.
