FISHERS, Ind. – Round Room LLC, the nation’s largest Verizon Authorized Retailer, announces today that its subsidiary, TCC, has awarded Camp Kuratli at Trestle Glen for The Salvation Army in Boring, Oregon, $2,000 as a part of the company’s second annual Kids Rock Community Event.

TCC selected 25 in-person children’s camps across the U.S. to receive $2,000 each to support their biggest needs as children return this summer. In total, $50,000 has been donated to camps across the country in this year’s program.

“More than two-thirds of summer camps were closed last year due to the pandemic. After a year of uncertainty and limited social interaction, their returns this summer will bring relief and joy to children across the nation,” said Scott Moorehead, CEO of Round Room, parent company of TCC. “Many of us attended summer camps growing up and we understand their importance to these kids, which is why all of us at TCC are excited to support local camps that are back in action this summer through our Kids Rock Community Event.”
