In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Care Camps Foundation (CCF) launched its new rebranding that showcases its official name change announced earlier this year. Care Camps Foundation is a national nonprofit foundation whose mission is to give joy, hope and the healing power of the outdoors to children with cancer and their families at medically supervised pediatric oncology camps.
The organization said the new logo holds symbolic significance and encapsulates the core attributes of their mission: outdoors, life, growth, caring, community, connection, joy, transformation and healing.
“As we move forward with our new image, what remains the same is our steadfast commitment to fund pediatric oncology camps across the U.S. and Canada,” said Gwynn Sullivan, Care Camps Foundation executive director. “And we continue to promise to be the best stewards of the generous donations we receive from campgrounds, companies, foundations and individuals so ultimately more children and families navigating a cancer journey will benefit from the programs these special camps provide.”
Additionally, as Care Camps Foundation commemorates their 40th anniversary this year, their board of directors and staff wish to acknowledge the caring group of Kampgrounds of America (KOA) owners who ignited their mission and began fundraising to support a few camps for children with cancer in 1984. Since that time, KOA campgrounds across the U.S. and Canada as well as other campgrounds, companies, foundations and individuals have continued to elevate the cause.
This past year Care Camps Foundation provided $2M to 122 camps that touched the lives of 41,880 children, siblings, parents and other family members — all of whom attended these specialized camps at no cost. To learn more, visit carecamps.org.
