The History and Impact of the Betsy Haas Fund for Children

We would like to thank the Betsy Haas Fund for Children, who - with support from the Junior League of Richmond - made a generous gift to SOAR365’s camp scholarship fund.

Two girls or young women will experience a week of overnight camp at Camp Baker thanks to their generosity.

Cat and Jay Haas plan to visit camp this summer with Betsy’s three siblings. They hope to see firsthand how Betsy’s memory has inspired generosity in others to create new, happy memories for campers with disabilities.
