Easterseals Iowa has received a $40,000 gift from Variety – the Children’s Charity to fund the remodeling of bathrooms in the Variety Rec Center at Camp Sunnyside in Des Moines. The Variety Rec Center is used throughout the year by campers on respite weekends and by children in the Child Development Center. During the 10 weeks of summer camp, the Rec Center is heavily used for multiple activities including basketball and rock wall climbing, and also provides an air-conditioned space for relief from the heat. “Variety is a longtime supporter of Easterseals Iowa,” said Sherri Nielsen, president and CEO of Easterseals Iowa. “They recognize the importance of keeping our facilities up to date to respond to the changing needs of our campers. This gift will allow us to better serve those who attend Easterseals Iowa Camp Sunnyside.”
