The talented Tenth Highlanders camp was founded because the founder, Nicolette Piaubert realized too many underprivileged youths were ending up in the system because of poor choices and bad influence. Realizing that these young people need to be given better alternatives Nicolette Piaubert developed a program that centered around, character building, culture refinement, and scholastic achievements.  Every day the summer campers are given the opportunities to explore their God-given talents while they have fun and learn the different key attributes of successful people. It is most unfortunate that not all schools give children the resources they need for a better future, but though The Talented Tenth Highlanders Inc., inspired by W.E.B Dubois, children of all ages and walk of life are given tools to become the difference they need to see. 

The funds will go to pay admission for summer campers who cannot afford to pay. Unfortunately, many of the children who need this program have guardians that cannot afford it, even though the cost of the camp is $250.00.

The funds will also go for camp fee maintenance i.e. liability insurance (about $3,000), supplies, snacks, games and prizes, trips, etc. No child has ever turned away from The Talented Tenth Highlanders Sumner Camp because of lack of funds. Many of the children who need the program are underprivileged and cannot pay but, Mrs. Piaubert does not have the heart to send them away. Because of her generosity, much of the funds needed are taken out of pocket. With over 54 campers at one time, the funds can become quite steep for a few to one philanthropist. 

This fundraiser is to help ease the financial burden felt by managing The Talented Tenth Highlanders and to allow more children to be allowed to enroll with the assurance that the cost will be covered somehow.
