Camp Casey, a Michigan-based horseback riding program for kids with cancer and their families, announces its second-annual Cowgirl Girl Pub Crawl, taking place from 5 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, March 26 in downtown Ferndale. Participants pay $25 and receive a souvenir glass mug as well as exclusive drink specials at Woodward Avenue Brewers, The Emory, The Post Bar, Como’s and Sneakers Pub. 100 percent of the pub crawl profits goes directly to Camp Casey.
Despite the event’s moniker, both men and women over the age of 21 are encouraged to attend. People can buy tickets via Camp Casey’s website (www.camp-casey.org). Western apparel is requested but not required.
Camp Casey, a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2003, offers three unique programs to children with cancer and their families. Cowboy Camp Outs are overnight mini-vacations at dude ranches in Michigan; Horsey House Calls bring a horse to the doorstep of kids too ill to attend an overnight retreat; Outlaw Outings provide family-oriented activities, like attending professional sports games, without the expense or hassle of planning. All of Camp Casey’s programs are free for families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
