Thanks to the generosity of the family of a young child who passed away, five kids will be able to attend summer camp . The family of Charles McIntyre has raised more than 30-thousand dollars through their Slow Your Roll campaign. It was an initiative that was launched following the death of 10-year-old Charles McIntyre who died four years ago after being hit by a vehicle on the city’s west side. The family is donating a thousand dollars from interest earned on the funds collected to send five children to YMCA summer day camps. McIntyre was a big fan of the YMCA. Officials at the YMCA say this is a great opportunity for the kids
