THANK YOU from Camp Kesem Northwestern!!

November 11, 2015

We wanted to take a moment to extend our gratitude to everyone who donated to our Catalyzer campaign!  With your help, we raised over $2100, and your donations allowed us to send FIVE counselors to the Camp Kesem National Leadership Summit this past weekend.  The information we learned at the Summit will be invaluable as we continue to train new counselors and expand our camps to serve 150 campers this summer!  Thank you for empowering student leaders to make a difference in the lives of children affected by a parent's cancer.

 

There's still time to help empower student leaders and children with Camp Kesem!!

Hello and Happy Homecoming!!

Camp Kesem Northwestern is so grateful for the amazing support we have received from the Northwestern community over the past two weeks.  We have raised just over $1000, which is equivalent to the cost to send FOUR counselors to Camp Kesem this summer.  At camp, these counselors will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills and provide a life-changing camp experience to children who have been affected by a parent's cancer.  To hear the impact we can have on our campers, watch our 2015 video below :)

We can't thank our donors enough, but we still have a long way to go to reach our goal!!  You can help us to reach our goal by sharing our campaign on social media with your friends, family, and fellow NU Alumni, and by making a contribution today!

 

There's a month left to reach our goal!

October 08, 2015

First off, we wanted to thank everyone who has made contributions to our fundraising page so far!! We have received donations to fund 12% of our goal of $5000.  The money we have raised will directly fund the training expenses needed to prepare each one of our counselors with the skills they will need to serve all 150 of our campers next summer.

The support we have received so far has been amazing, but we still have a long way to go until we reach our goal!  Luckily, we have thirty days left to reach $5000.

See what counselor Jerry Benson has to say about Camp Kesem Northwestern, and please consider donating to our cause, or sharing our campaign with friends and family today!!
