OrthoSynetics(TM) Supports Camp Friendship

    METAIRIE, La., July 16 /EMWNews/ -- Thanks to the generosity of

OrthoSynetics(TM) and its employees, the Spina Bifida Association of

Greater New Orleans' Camp Friendship will have the necessary supplies for

its weeklong summer camp, starting July 21. OrthoSynetics(TM) employees

collected monetary donations, which was matched by the company, along with

supplies and toys for the campers.



    "I'm proud of our team for pitching in to help these deserving kids

enjoy a week of fun in the sun," said Chris Roussos, president and CEO of

OrthoSynetics. "It says a lot about our employees, who consistently exhibit

great initiative to organize events like this to give back to the

community."



    Camp Friendship is a weeklong camp sponsored by the Spina Bifida

Association of Greater New Orleans (SBAGNO). The organization has provided

summer camp free of charge to all children from the Greater New Orleans

area for more than twenty years. This year, Camp Friendship's theme is

"Rollin' on the River," and will be attended by children from Opelousas,

Houma, Pierre Port, Luling, Baton Rouge and Long Beach, MS.



    The camp remains free to all who need it through the generosity of

SBAGNO's supporters.



    "We are extremely grateful to the OrthoSynetics team," said Cindy

Barrios, director of Camp Friendship. "Without their generosity, these

children would not get to experience typical summer camp fun, such as

swimming, water slides, field trips, art and music."
