I am a Student Director for Camp Kesem Stanford, a nonprofit that runs a free, week-long summer camp for kids whose parents have, have battled, or have passed away from cancer. Campers have the unique opportunity to build friendships and gain strength from peers facing similar challenges, at no financial burden to their families.

Our chapter of Camp Kesem serves around 150 children ages 6-16 across Northern California. Our camp is staffed by a full-time Director and 75 volunteers, all of whom are Stanford students. Please see the camp website for more information: http://www.campkesemstanford.org/

In order to ensure that Camp Kesem can provide a free camp experience to our campers this upcoming Summer 2022, we are currently planning our “Make the Magic” benefit gala on April 9th, 2021. We are currently soliciting in-kind donations for the auction to be held at this event. 

Your donation to “Make the Magic” will help us fundraise the almost $200,000 it takes to send our kids to camp. We will be sure to acknowledge your generous donation during the event, specifically during the live auction as well as at the conclusion of the gala when recognizing all of our donors and sponsors.
