The Girls Rock! Chicago board would like to thank everyone who made the 2008 summer camp and End-of-Camp Extravaganza concert a huge success. We would especially like to thank:
- Each and every one of our amazing campers and their families
- Our incredibly selfless camp staff of over 60 camp-week volunteers
- The workshop leaders, musicians, and bands who took time out of their busy schedules to participate at camp
- Each of the amazing businesses that supported us with financial, edible, and audible donations
- Inter-American Magnet School, Metro Chicago, and Experimental Sound Studio, who provided facilities for camp week
- Everyone who came out to see the girls rock the Metro at the End-of-Camp Extravaganza concert
Visit our Thank You to our Supporters page for a complete list of the many organizations that were instrumental in making camp a reality this year.
Please stay tuned for GR!C fund-raising (and just plain fun) events this fall and winter, and help us spread the word to guarantee an even better camp in 2009! To receive notification of our upcoming events, subscribe to our email newsletter.
