Boyertown residents, the Miller family, celebrated the pure joys of summer with The Fresh Air Fund and were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2014 Photo Contest! All winners were selected from the hundreds of pictures sent in by volunteer host families across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada, reflecting the memorable experiences they shared with their New York City visitors this past summer. Categories include “Laketime Fun,” “Summer Siblings,” “By the Beach,” and “Fresh Air Foodies.”
The Miller family’s photo was determined the winner in the “Hiking” category, and features Fresh Air visitor Kajanni, age 13, enjoying the fresh air in Pennsylvania. “Kijanni was amazed how green Pennsylvania is. She also was shocked to see that many people walked along the roads and not on sidewalks. The quietness of the country was totally different from what Kijanni is used to but she was brave to leave home and try new things,” said Krista about Kijanni’s Fresh Air experience.
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
