Camp Scholarship Endowment Fund established for New York YMCA Camp by John and Lynn Fulkerson and dedicated to the memory of Lloyd E. Moore, Jr.
This scholarship fund is intended for children of families with financial need to fulfill John and Lynn’s desire to “…provide camp experience for younger kids who would not otherwise be able to attend camp.” Donate This desire stems from John and Lynn’s personal experience as staff at Camp Greenkill in the mid-sixties. Their memorial dedication stems from their sincere respect for the leadership of YMCA professional Lloyd E. Moore, Jr., then YMCA Executive Director of the Camp & Outing Branch, employed by New York YMCA from 1946 to 1970. Lloyd’s professional and volunteer accomplishments in the YMCA speak loudly of his abilities as a leader, and his respected legacy to the Y and his family is documented by his son, Ulvert: “He offered a firm handshake and a friendly smile to all he met, assisted in fund raising, and remained open to new ideas and influences as times changed…Lloyd Moore’s philosophy was the symbol and mission of the YMCA, bringing Spirit, Mind, and Body into harmony for all those who worked with him and enjoyed his sense of humor, his sense of community, his easy ability to communicate, and his love of the camping experience. He had a profound influence on people he met as a friend, mentor, leader, and co-worker.” Read Lloyd E. Moore's full biography. Lloyd’s personal character was summed up by another former staff member, Ralph Drake: “Lloyd was a very good, soft spoken, and kind man. He encouraged my future camp career greatly. Lloyd was like that, never leaving me behind to run things. He included me.” It was at camp under Lloyd’s leadership where John and Lynn met in 1966, marrying in 1968. In celebration of their 50th anniversary, this lasting scholarship is their way to ensure children in need can be part of the camp experience so memorable in their own lives, and to honor the memory of Lloyd. Join John and Lynn in making the camp experience accessible to all with an online donation. Notification of your participation will be documented for John and Lynn.
