My Story
with Campfire Circle began 11 years ago when two volunteers appeared in the doorway to my son's room in SickKids Hospital. They had an immediate positive effect on all of us and we snapped out our stressful states. Jack feed off their energy and welcomed being treated as kid again (as opposed to a patient). He has enjoyed countless in-hospital visits from his Campfire Circle friends, in city programs and most of all summer trips to the Muskoka camp. This amazing organization will always have a fond place in our hearts and we count ourselves fortunate to help fundraise so they can continue bringing smiles to the faces of children battling cancer!
Description
Help bring joy and laughter to kids affected by cancer or serious illness
A diagnosis of childhood cancer or serious illness changes life in an instant. For kids and families, their schedule suddenly revolves around medical appointments and hospital stays, with long absences from school. There is no time for simple joys like friendships, birthday parties or sport activities.
Campfire Circle is passionate about helping kids to just be kids, once again. By supporting their in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, you will help bring joy and laughter to kids and families during their most challenging times, at no cost to them.
As part of the Campfire Circle community, you are helping to create opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall wellbeing.
More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic—the need is greater now more than ever. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle’s critical camp-inspired programs will reach even more kids and families across Ontario. Your gift makes life-changing experiences possible.
Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal.
