Berkley, MA., August 12, 2011- Marty's USRV announced that they raised $543.00 for Village Green Family Campground, located in the central Massachusetts town of Brimfield, to rebuild after a tornado destroyed the park June 1.
Marty's USRV reached out to the Facebook community and pledged to donate $1 for each new Facebook Fan on their page for the month of July. "It was amazing to log onto USRV's Facebook page every day and see the numbers grow so quickly and read the heartfelt comments from Village Green Campers." stated Danielle Hanoud, Vice President/Owner of USRV Inc.
"Thank you SO much for helping out Village Green.......I spent the past 17 summers there and when the tornado hit, I felt like a part of my childhood was taken away. What....USRV is doing to help is amazing! They really need it. Thank you again" was posted by Teresa Doucette on USRV Facebook page. Sharing her support for the fund-raising efforts.
Owners Meg and Les Twarowski of Village Green Family Campground have already started rebuilding their campground and has a goal to open half of it by late October. The tornado damaged 95 of the 97 RVs that was parked in the campground in addition to several campground buildings, including its 3,000-sq.ft. pavilion, which was the meeting area for most of the events and activities.
