tedfund logo 1The Ted Muller Camp Scholarship Fund was established in 1996 with donations provided in memory of Ted Muller, District 65 teacher, longtime camp counselor, and lifelong Evanston resident.

The mission of the fund, which has become known simply as the “Ted Fund,” is to provide students whose families live below the poverty line in District 65 (second graders) the chance to attend local summer camps for up to four consecutive years.  Nearly one out of every three children in Evanston comes from a family that cannot afford extras such as summer camp or other enrichment programs.

Children are selected for the program by school social workers in cooperation with their elementary ed teachers. This year, the fund sent over 163 kids from District 65 elementary schools to camp.
