For the second consecutive year, Winnebago Industries will be the title sponsor for Melanated Campout.
The event, created by the Melanated Cares Foundation, is part of the nonprofit organization’s effort to encourage people of color to embrace the outdoors.
Jil Littlejohn Bostick, executive director, Winnebago Industries Foundation, said: “After a successful collaboration last year, we are excited to continue our partnership and create an inclusive atmosphere in the outdoors. Melanated Cares is an organization with an incredible history of conceptualizing and executing large-scale events that center on inclusion and we share a commitment to making the outdoors a place for everyone as part of our ‘All In, Outdoors’ approach.”
Melanated Campout will return to Georgia from Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Hundreds of diverse campers will be welcomed to an exclusive campground offering RV sites with electricity, cable TV, premium and primitive tents, and cabins for an upscale camping experience.
“The Winnebago Industries Foundation’s continued support has opened new doors for our organization,” said Jocelyn McCants, Melanated Campout co-founder. “We continue to scale year after year, and with such an incredible company powering our annual retreat, Melanated Campout is reaching new audiences and introducing hundreds of first-time campers to the beauty of the outdoors.”
