Northwest Arkansas Childrens Shelter

Benefit Concert/Cam Singleton Eagle Scout Project

2:30—3:30 pmMay 1, 2021

My name is Cameron Singleton, and I am from Scout Troop 36 in Bentonville. I am currently working on my Eagle Scout project which includes hosting a benefit concert for the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter.

Join us at George’s Majestic Lounge on Saturday, May 1st and enjoy a performance by the students of Arkansas Arts Academy. The concert is for all ages and there is a $5.00 admission fee, or a donation of equal value in items from the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter’s needs list. Tickets available in advance or at the door.

Thank you for your support of my Eagle Project and your support of the Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter!

Meet Sadie

I was taken into the Children’s Shelter at 3:27 a.m.

Due to my past, I was terrified of what I may be walking in to. What if this is the last time I see my brothers? What if I’m completely removed from my “normal” life? I can only imagine what my brothers thought, let alone any other child in the system. This being said, I was shocked walking in to see portraits painted among the walls, a dining room, welcoming staff members … gosh, don’t get me started on how shocked I was to see that we had legit rooms.

They’re decorated! It’s amazing. Here at the Shelter they do their best to make you feel as welcomed and comfortable as possible … Northwest Arkansas Children’s Shelter has honestly done the best they can do to help me in life. There was never a day that went by that I felt uncared for.

It was very hard adjusting, but I knew I was always okay in their hands.

While at the Shelter, I got to do two things for the first time – roller skating and bowling!
