We are very excited to again host one of our favorite fundraising events, Cocktails & Camp Tales. This year’s celebration will be Saturday,  November 12, 2022, at Mission Hills Country. The evening includes cocktails and dinner, a brief program, a silent and live auction, and dancing.  Please consider helping us continue to make children’s dreams come true by donating an auction item for our event.

Camps for Kids works to assure that no Kansas City area youngster is denied the benefits of summer camp due to medical disability or financial disadvantage.  Some of the many challenges facing these youngsters include spina bifida, cancer, epilepsy, diabetes, developmental disabilities, Tourette’s syndrome and neighborhood crime.  There is no other organization in Kansas City dedicated to making camp available to all needy children!

With the help of many contributors and area Kansas Citians, our capacity to address our mission continues to grow. Since its founding 41 years ago, Camps for Kids has helped bring the summer camp experience to tens of thousands of children in our community, regardless of their circumstances or the challenges they face. As we look forward to the 2023 camping season, we continue our pledge to the 22 camps in our network – that no Kansas City area child will be deprived of the impact and potent fun of camp. With your help, we are working to raise over $400,000 in support for 2023 so that even more children can experience the wonders of summer camp.

With this in mind, I would like to request a package or gift certificate to be used as a part of our auction, to be sold to the highest bidder.  (For gift certificates, please issue with an expiration date no earlier than November 13, 2023).
