Camp Kesem is a completely free, week-long summer camp for children affected by a parent’s cancer. The entire week is organized and fundraised by college students across the country. Cancer affects an entire family, burdening children with new responsibilities and fear. We try to provide these kids with a safe space to escape the angst of home and meet others that can empathize. This is our 17th year of Camp Kesem at UVA and we are hoping to open our arms to 160 campers aged 6-18 regardless of race, religion, economic standing, or background. Since our camp is free for participating families, we rely on your support in order to make camp possible. We currently need to raise $70,000 by August. Our biggest fundraising event, Make the Magic, is just around the corner. Make the Magic is a gala that will be hosted at the Graduate Hotel in Charlottesville, VA on April 16, 2022. The event includes a silent auction, and we would greatly appreciate any donation that Kings Dominion would be willing to provide. In the past, items have been sports/event tickets, weekend getaways, gift certificates, etc. Sponsors will have their logos placed on each guest table and will be recognized throughout our event. If possible, we would be very grateful for your support to our mission.
