The forecast is calling for a sunny and cool Happy Camper Scamper Saturday morning in St. Joseph.

KKJO 105.5 hosts the annual 5K, which benefits Camp Quality Northwest Missouri, a week-long summer camp for kids who have cancer.

“A lot of them can’t walk, so we want to walk for them,” said KKJO 105.5 Morning Personality Gregg Lynn. “We’re going to get out (and) raise some money for camp. They have over 100 campers every summer and it costs about $1,100 per camper, so it’s very expensive and all their money is raised through private donations. This is our way of helping out a little bit, raising a little bit of money, having some fun, it’s going to be a beautiful morning for it.”

Lynn said if anyone cannot participate in the 5K and just wants to donate, they can stop by the morning of the race to drop off a donation or donate through the registration website. KKJO also hosts a Radio-A-Thon each year in May to raise more funds for Camp Quality.

“Over the past however many years, we’ve been able to raise over a quarter of a million dollars for Camp Quality, which we’re pretty excited about, it’s a cause that’s very important to me,” Lynn said. “I’ve been out to camp many times and met with some of these kids. One little girl, the first year we did a Radio-A-Thon, her name is Natalie, and she was in our TV commercial for our Radio-A-Thon and now she’s graduated high school. That’s a great story, too, because she’s beat cancer and she’s living life to the fullest and we just want to make sure these kids can make it out to camp and have a great experience this summer.”

The Happy Camper Scamper begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday at Bartlett Park in St. Joseph. To register, click here and for more information about Camp Quality visit campqualityusa.org/nwmo.
