The LightHouse will host the annual Friends of Charlie benefit for Enchanted Hills Camp (EHC) on Saturday February 27, 2010 at the Twin Peaks Tavern in San Francisco, from 12 – 3 p.m. (map)

This summer EHC will be marking its 60th anniversary. We hope we can count on you to send Charlie and his good friends to EHC in 2010 and help us celebrate this important milestone in EHC’s history.

Friends of Charlie started in 2004, when a few people raised money to send their friend Charlie Wilson, who was losing his vision, to Enchanted Hills Camp for the first time. Of that first camp session, Charlie said, “I told some people when I came back that it was one of the best weeks I spent in my life and I will never forget it.”

As the seniors that make up Charlie’s group of friends grew, so too did the support for this fun and inspiring event. Over the last five years, Friends of Charlie has become one of the premiere fundraisers for EHC, raising $9,000 last year!

Please consider supporting Friends of Charlie by donating raffle or silent auction items, providing a donation in support of the event or joining us on the 27th.
