Brewer -
Camp Capella starts their summer season this Monday. A local radio station is trying to help as many campers as possible enjoy their week on Phillips Lake.
I 95.7 in Brewer is hosting a Cappella-thon this week. Listeners are being asked to phone in donations or make them online.
You can call 989-5631 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Or log onto http://wwmj-fm.comCamp Capella is located in Dedham.
There are week long camps for young kids, teenagers and even adults with special needs.
It costs about 15-hundred dollars to send on child to camp for a week.
"It's all about sending children with disabilities, physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, to give them an opportunity for a lifetime," says Executive Director Dana Mosher. "Because you know, without Camp Capella, many of these kids just wouldn't be able to have this kind of opportunity."
This Saturday, a classic car and motorcycle ride will take place to benefit Camp Capella as well.
"Miles for Smiles" will start at Cumulus Radio in Brewer at 10 a.m.
Drivers will end up at Napa Auto Parts in Ellsworth where they'll enjoy free food and music from RetroRockerz.
Donations will be accepted.
