Families struggling with Cancer - Random Act of Kindness
We have partnered with our summer intern Sophia who has joined a nonprofit called Camp Kesem a nationwide community driven by passionate college student leaders that support children through and beyond their parents’ cancer diagnosis. www.kesem.org. We are honored to donate a $1,000 worth of product to help raise money for this amazing program.
With over 5 million children impacted by a parent's cancer, Camp Kesem must continue expanding to meet this need. Kesem is the largest national organization dedicated to this unique population, and for many children their Camp Kesem experience is a life-changing event–providing them a community of children with similar experiences, and a safe and welcoming environment to have fun and rediscover their childhood.
Beyond that, our replicable and highly scalable funding model also allows for rapid expansion. Kesem now serves 10 times the number of children supported ten years ago. In summer 2018, nearly 9,000 children attended over 100 week-long sessions of Camp Kesem held at fun and exciting campsites from coast-to-coast. And with your help, we hope to continue supporting more and more children each year!
Thank you for being an important part of our growth as we support children through and beyond their parent's cancer with innovative, fun-filled programs that foster a lasting community!
