"There are so many children that have never had the opportunity to experience 'The Great Outdoors,'" said Youkilis. "With the help of Stephen and Ronna Miller and West Suburban YMCA, we will give 20 of these kids the opportunity to spend two weeks at a the amazing Camp Frank A. Day in Central Massachusetts."
