KRUEGER FAMILY OF REDDING AWARDED IN THE FRESH AIR FUND’S ANNUAL PHOTO CONTEST

October 11, 2013 – Redding residents, the Kruegers, celebrated the simple things with The Fresh Air Fund and were among the winners of The Fresh Air Fund’s 2013 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 Fresh Air Silliness, Family Moments, Reach for the Sky and Fun in the Sun.

The Krueger’s photo was determined the winner in the Summer Brothers category, and features Fresh Air visitor, seven-year-old William, experiencing the simple summertime joys in Connecticut with host sibling, Roy. “It was a wonderful and worthwhile experience for all of us, and we look forward to participating in the program for years to come,” Beth Krueger said.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
