Need inspiration to host your next dinner party?
Camp Quality’s Dine at Mine campaign is back for a third year, and the idea is so simple -- invite mates over and ask them to make a donation to charity for their meal.
This year Camp Quality hopes to raise $350,000 -- enough to send 270 kids living with cancer to a resilience-building, life-transforming camp.
