Because of people like you, 80 campers will cast their lines into Penny Lake. Twenty families will go rock climbing together for the first time. Dozens of teenagers will be able to get together each month to talk about what it's like to grow up with a cancer diagnosis. All thanks to you.
Cash and in-kind donations bring the year-round Camp Rainbow Gold programs to life. In turn, these donations provide support and relief to more than 250 children and their families each year.
