5 million children are coping with a parent's cancer diagnosis. That's 5 million children at risk of experiencing increased anxiety, emotional isolation, loss of social interest, and/or feelings of hopelessness. And that's why, at Kesem, we are committed to creating a world where every child who has a parent with a cancer diagnosis or has lost a parent to cancer is never alone. We support these children through and beyond their parent's cancer with free, fun-filled creative programs and a lasting community. If you would like to learn more about Camp Kesem, please visit kesem.org.

Our Make the Magic event is our biggest fundraising event of the year, with a goal of raising $15,000. For every $1000 raised, we are able to support one camper in the Vermont, New Hampshire, and Canada area not only with our fun-filled week-long summer camp, but also with year-round support in the form of Friends + Family Days, birthday cards, welcome care packages, and other meetups with counselors as needed.

If you would like to join us at this event--which includes dinner, a silent auction, and other programming--please purchase your tickets at donate.kesem.org/uvmmtm23. If you can't make it to the event, but would still like to support these kids in need, please follow the same link to donate directly.

If you want to support us in our silent auction by donating an item or if you have any questions or comments about the event, please reach out to us at vermont.mtm@kesem.org (or you may respond to me, Olivia, directly through this posting).

Thank you all for your time and consideration in supporting Camp Kesem. With your support, no child will have to face their parent's cancer alone. YOU help us bring Kesem magic to these kids.
