I feel very connected to Camp Mak-A-Dream. The cause behind the ride is one of my biggest motivators.

I feel somewhat connected to Camp Mak-A-Dream, although I wish I knew more.

I do not feel strongly about Camp Mak-A-Dream. It is a nice add that the even benefits a charity but it is not why I helped out as a volunteer.
