My Story
Camp brings much-needed joy to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families. I have been personally supporting Campfire Circle for many years, having first learned of the organization through a friend whose family member attended the camp as a child. After beating cancer, he continued attending camp as a counselor to ensure kids had the wonderful experience he did growing up.
That’s why I’m fundraising for Campfire Circle. Through its in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs, Campfire Circle creates opportunities year-round for kids to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being.
Today, people may find it difficult to agree on many things. Providing kids with cancer or serious illness the opportunity to be just kids shouldn't be one of them.
Thank you for your support.
Description
Help deliver healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer or serious illness, it impacts the whole family. Kids miss out on simple childhood joys, household incomes are often cut in half as caregivers take on the full-time responsibility of caring for a sick child, and families struggle to make time for special experiences. When you donate to Campfire Circle you are supporting in-hospital, community and overnight camp programs that create opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. Through play-based experiences, you are helping empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. With your support, we can continue to offer our programs at no cost to families and grow our circle of care to provide additional play-based experiences across all four paediatric hospitals, and improve our medically supported and accessible overnight camps so that every eligible child can benefit from our innovative and impactful programs. Thank you for helping to build a world where children thrive and families heal. |
