As you know, Camp Fire is a youth agency that offers after school, teen services, environmental education, camping, and school readiness programs. Over the past 34 years, An Artists’ Christmas has raised nearly $4 million to support these programs in the North Texas area. Most of the artists are from the North Texas area, although there has also been art from nationally known artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol.
