Our Story

The magic of camp brings much-needed joy to kids and families affected by childhood cancer or serious illness. That’s why we're 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 wellbeing. More than a thousand kids were diagnosed with cancer during the pandemic. Help us raise funds for Campfire Circle to give kids the chance to just be kids so that they can rediscover a spark of light and laughter—this is what healing through happiness looks like. Together, we can help children thrive and families heal through Campfire Circle’s transformational, camp-inspired programs. Join the circle and donate to our #SportingLife10K—because we are the spark that makes Campfire Circle burn bright!

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.
