Campers Inn RV, which claims to be the nation’s largest family owned and operated RV dealership group, raised more than $400,000 during its recent Glitter & Gold Gala. This donation will give more than 200 children the chance to attend special oncology summer camps through Care Camps, a national nonprofit that provides kids with cancer the opportunity to experience camping.
“I cannot put into words how thankful I am for everyone who helped make the Glitter & Gold Gala a huge success,” said Jeff Hirsch, president and CEO. “This was a vision put into action by my wife Deby Hirsch, head of Campers Inn RVs charitable initiatives, to further the Care Camps mission with a Holiday Gala. We had people from all over the country donating items for the silent auction and live auction because they wholeheartedly believe in the Care Camps mission like we here at Campers Inn RV do. The organization is doing amazing work and we are so thankful that we can be a part of it. We hope the more than 200 children who will benefit from this donation will make core memories that last a lifetime.”
“We are humbled by the generosity of Campers Inn RV and the success of this event,” said Erica Lanter, Care Camps marketing manager. “This donation propels our mission forward and will impact hundreds of children facing cancer as well as their families. It is clear Campers Inn RV is rooted in service with a drive to positively impact those they serve. Care Camps is blessed to have them as a partner.”
Campers Inn RV was recently awarded the corporate 2022 We Care Award by Care Camps. This award is given to companies that go above and beyond for the nonprofit and the families they support. Care Camps’ Board of Directors selected Campers Inn RV as the recipient of the We Care Award based on the level of contributions generated by direct actions, long-term and consistent involvement in fundraising activities, and the company’s help in the promotion of Care Camps.
