GBU Life makes donation to Run Home Camps

John Fauzey and Ashley Casterline, of GBU Life, presented a $5,000 donation to Nick and Patti Miller, founders of Run Home Camps, at PNC Park.

Twenty children from the Run Home Camps program, an ongoing mission to bring hope, healing and honor to abused and neglected boys through the game of baseball, attended the Pittsburgh Pirates game, according to a press release from GBU Life.

Run Home Camps provides week-long baseball camps designed to give boys aged 9 to 12 an experience filled with encouragement and fun, as well as personal and spiritual growth, the release says.

Joseph Carpenter, of Carpenter Financial Services, a GBU Life agent who has been actively involved as a sponsor and volunteer coach for Run Home Camps, said, "Taking the boys to the Pirates game was such a rewarding experience. We're deeply thankful to GBU for their generous donation."

The organization, founded in Windber, has expanded to include locations in Arizona, Oklahoma and Texas, and internationally in Peru, where camps will be offered in 2025.
