www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com The Wood family is having a big impact on fundraising for Camp Kudzu. Since 2017, part of the proceeds from Taste of Tucker — which began in 2010 — have gone to the camp, which is now the main beneficiary of the annual event.
The Taste of Tucker event raised $20,000 for Camp Kudzu last year, and Art Wood used that fundraising haul to challenge other attendees at Camp Kudzu’s 20th anniversary celebration in December to match that fundraising total.
The other attendees responded in force, and a total of $150,000 ended up going to Camp Kudzu as a result. That pushed the camp past its $300,000 fundraising goal for 2019, with the camp ultimately raising a total of $400,000.
Last year, Camp Kudzu served 935 kids and teens, including 229 first-time campers, from 80 counties across Georgia. It also handed out $213,000 in scholarships to kids in need last year.
Among the kids who participated in the camp’s programs last year were 124 youths from Gwinnett.
