Care Camps, a national nonprofit that funds medically supervised pediatric oncology camps across the United States and Canada, has named Tyler Carter its new development director.
Carter was previously assistant director of development at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and was one of its key representatives in cultivating strategic partnerships that helped the foundation raise more than $50 million annually. He also brings leadership and development experience working with children’s camps through the YMCA.
“We are thrilled to have Tyler join our team and help us to expand our mission and fundraising efforts,” said Gwynn Sullivan, care camps executive director who holds a Master of Science in nursing. “He is a wonderful complement to our existing talented team and his expertise will be of great benefit to support our existing partners and develop new partnerships.”
In 2022, Care Camps raised more than $3.5 million to support its mission and fund pediatric oncology camps across the U.S. and Canada, who are all members of the Children’s Oncology Camping Association. Since its inception, Care Camps has raised more than $24 million.
“We are grateful for the established legacy of financial support from our partners within the outdoor industry and other businesses, foundations, and individuals,” Wade Elliott, care camps board of directors chairman, said. “We are confident Tyler will help us leverage and increase our philanthropic goals so more children living with cancer and their families can benefit.”
