Camp Haven, Diamonds in the Rough

Camp Haven, Diamonds in the Rough Gala

                Camp Haven, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides transformational programs for homeless and at-risk men from Indian River County.     

               They recently celebrated their 10th Anniversary at the Oak Harbor Club in Vero Beach through the Diamonds in the Rough Gala. The event brought together a community of supporters to acknowledge Camp Haven's success in educating over 275 men with the life skills needed to become self-sufficient, productive community members.

               The shelter can host up to 26 men and relies solely on the generosity of the local community and donors, as it receives no government funding. Events like the Diamonds in the Rough Gala are vital to the success of Camp Haven, Inc.

               In addition to the dozens of sponsors, including Event Sponsors Linda & Gordon Stewart, Diamond Sponsors Bernard A. Egan Foundation, Inc., Sallyan & Steve Pelletier, and James & Judith Schorner, Solitaire Sponsors Walter & Lalita Janke Charitable Foundation, and many others, silent and live auctions, a playing card raffle and an impassioned Call to the Heart, helped secure additional funds.

               Vero Beach resident and Camp Haven volunteer Bob Houlihan received the distinguished Diamond Award for mentoring the men in the Camp Haven program.
