"TLC will use funds from the Polar Bear Challenge towards its new campaign (Vision2020 & Beyond) in order to provide new and improved facilities for future generations of TLC campers. Our capital campaign was kicked off on February 8, 2020 which will run for 24 – 36 months and be phased to facilitate 3-5 year pledges from our donors.

The emphasis of Phase I of the CAMPaign will be to address the bunkhouses, care-taker dormitory and revitalize aging infrastructure. Specifically, we would like for the Polar Bear Challenge to be used for the purposes stated but more specifically to show traction and support, to provide much needed capital funds, to raise awareness of TLC and to give the community an opportunity to get to know Texas Lions Camp."

Stephen went on to talk about the importance of TLC's mission to build self-esteem in others, as follows:

"The truth is, one can spend a life time working to achieve and improve self-esteem and may or may not succeed in feeling good about themselves and the things they have accomplished by the end of their lives; however, the great multiplier of self-esteem is not found in working to achieve merely for self, but in working to help others achieve and improve how they feel about themselves. That is the magic of TLC, to lend your story to help others value their story. It is the great multiplier of what it means to value yourself and others."
