Bruno Ocampo ’08 has been combatting malnutrition in his native Colombia for years. His latest efforts were on the largest scale yet, having raised over $250,000 for children’s advocacy foundations Kidsave International and Nutrir.

 

Bruno served on the executive committee for The 5th Annual New York Miracle Makers Golf Classic held on May 24, 2010. Hosted by Bob Woodruff of ABC News, the tournament offered an exclusive day of golf at the PGA West Course in Rye, New York famed with opportunities to golf with celebrity guests, on‐course games and luxury prizes. The evening featured networking with business leaders, celebrities, and sports figures, followed by an Awards Dinner with entertainment, auction items and an opportunity to meet the kids of Kidsave and Nutrir. Proceeds will be used to build the Nutrir Center for Integral Development in Barranquilla, Colombia, which will feed an additional 20,000 Colombian children daily.

 

Kidsave International is a nonprofit organization that helps older orphaned and abandoned children find families. Nutrir is a private nonprofit organization that works with the poorest and most vulnerable child population of Colombia in various programs of nutritional recovery.
