MARK YOU CALENDARS FOR 2024!
September 21, 2024
4:00-8:00pm

For 95 years, Camp Ho Mita Koda has provided an unparralleled summer camp experience to youth with Type 1 Diabetes. On September 21, 2024, join us in celebrating our rich history & growth at our signature fundraising event, Backpack Bivouac!

Enjoy an evening of camp activities, delicious food, engaging raffles and live music, ending with a bonfire and s’mores buffet. This special event will bring together our supporters, camper families, alumni and community to experience the joys of camp and honor the legacy that began in 1929. From live music to hayrides, there is certain to be something for everyone! Attendees will hear from special guests on why Camp Ho Mita Koda’s mission is more important than ever.

All event proceeds will benefit youth with Type 1 Diabetes through transformative programming.

Event Details

50/50 Raffle
A 50/50 raffle is like a party where someone could leave with a cash prize. Participants purchase tickets, and the winner walks away with half the total money raised while the rest goes straight to your charity. The cool thing about a 50/50 raffle is that the more entries you get, the more the pot grows.

Basket Raffle
True to their name, raffle baskets feature a collection of themed items beautifully arranged in a basket and raffled off as a fundraising prize.

Wine Pull
Supporters will purchase ‘wine pulls’ for a set price. They can then pull a wrapped wine bottle (wrapped to hide the bottle and value) from a selection of expensive, medium range, and cheap wines.
