Support Camp Sunshine: Freezin’ for a Reason Camp Sunshine is an incredible place for families with children with lifethreatening illnesses to find support. It costs $2,000 for a week of camp. Though much of the work is done by volunteers, they provide three meals a day for everybody and much much more.
Please help us keep the wheels turning so we can help make sure more families can experience this wonderful community. We are participating in the New Haven polar plunge on Saturday, February 25.
Visit our fundraising page to donate a few dollars to a great cause (four stars on Charity Navigator, the highest rating they give). |
