A pair of philanthropic donors have agreed to contribute $30,000 to the Press-Telegram's Send-a-Kid-to-Camp fund so more kids can enjoy a week at a mountain camp this summer. That is a very generous donation - but there is a condition attached to the contribution. The donors - Frank Newell, former chair of the Long Beach Community Foundation, and his wife, Margie - said their donation is contingent on Press-Telegram readers contributing an additional $30,000 to match their $30,000 donation.

Carlos couldn’t believe his eyes when he looked up at the sky on his first night at Camp Oakes, high in the San Bernardino Mountains. “Look at all those stars,” the 8-year-old exclaimed. “I never see that many stars when I’m at home.
