Blairsville, PA – [May 8, 2025]

TriStar Kia, a leading automotive dealership serving Southwestern Pennsylvania, is proud to announce their continued support of Camp Cadet through annual charitable donations and The Kia Collective. This ongoing partnership reflects TriStar Kia’s unwavering commitment to investing in the future of local youth and fostering strong community ties.

Camp Cadet is a week-long summer program that introduces young participants to the principles of law enforcement, discipline, and leadership through a structured and supportive environment. Operated by local and state police officers, the program is designed to build confidence, self-esteem, and positive community relationships among youth ages 12 to 15.

“Supporting Camp Cadet is one of the most rewarding things we do all year,” said Chris Burley, TriStar Kia Sales Manager. And Aaron Fritz, Finance Manager reiterates Burley’s sentiments with, “We believe in the values of discipline, respect, and community service that Camp Cadet instills in our local youth, and we’re honored to contribute to a program that makes such a lasting impact.”

TriStar Kia has been a long-standing supporter of Camp Cadet, and their donations helps cover essential expenses including lodging, meals, uniforms, and activity supplies, ensuring that the camp remains free of charge for all attendees.

Camp Cadet continues to grow each year, reaching more young people across the region and creating positive early interactions with law enforcement. TriStar Kia’s ongoing contributions have played a key role in helping the program thrive and expand its outreach.

Registration is open February 10 thru April 16, 2025. Camp dates are June 8-13, 2025. There will be a mandatory Camp Cadet Parent Meeting Saturday, May 10th, located at the Edinboro VFD.
