UCLA’s summer camp for low-income children will receive a donation of $11,500 from a bagel company today, a camp official said Friday.
The proceeds from a three-month “Kids to Camp” drive at Noah’s New York Bagel Co. stores in Los Angeles and Ventura counties enabled 56 children to attend UniCamp, an eight-day recreational program in the Angeles National Forest, said Steve Sann, a board member for the camp.
The contribution will be marked by ceremony at the Noah’s on Malibu Road. Assistant manager Brian Minkler--who attended the camp in the 1970s--said the outlet led all area stores in fund-raising.
Sann said children attending UniCamp participate in hikes, swimming and canoeing, among other activities.
