The
Summer Games originally started as the "Bar Olympics"
with staff and patrons from the Stonewall and Candida's
participating in fun, athletic games at the Rainbow
Mountain Resort to raise funds for Lehigh Valley and
Pocono HIV/AIDS support services. Rapidly growing in
support, attendance,and fame the event was re-named
The Summer Games to reflect the greatly broadened focus
and features.
For 30 years, good people like yourself have supported
and contributed to the success of FACT’S fundraising
event, The Summer Games. We invite you to join the fun
and festivities by celebrating with us at The Woods
Campground in Lehighton, PA. This year, the 30th annual
Summer Games will be held on Sunday, August 30th. The
proceeds of this fun-filled day directly benefits individuals,
families, and children who are infected/affected with
AIDS/HIV throughout the FACT-Lehigh Valley, Pocono regions
and & Berks County.
