Hi parents, families, and supporters of Camp Kesem!
Additionally, we are still looking for three nurses. As many of you may know, camp cannot happen without these nurses, so please reach out to any nurses you know! Please contact us. They are vital and absolutely necessary for camp to happen!
We are also looking for in-kind donations (items, gift cards, etc) as well as monetary donations, seeing as Camp Kesem is funded entirely through donations and fundraising. Any donation, no matter how small, makes a huge amount of difference to us as counselors and fundraisers, and we would be seriously so grateful to receive any amount of help to make our two weeks of camp all the more magical!!
A benefit dinner and also our biggest fundraiser of the year, Make the Magic, will be held on May 16th. The event will include a full dinner, complementary alcohol for all our age-appropriate guests, a silent auction, and a set of stories for some of our incredible supporters, counselors, campers, and camper families! The main purpose of our event is to bring together as many members of our amazing and inspirational Camp Kesem UCSD family as we possibly can and share with all of our guests what Camp Kesem truly means for so many people so that we can continue to fund the incredible services we have been so blessed to provide. If you would like to attend, here is the registration link: https://campkesem.secure.force.com/events/CnP_PaaS_EVT__ExternalRegistrationPage?event_id=a19i0000001SshmAAC If you cannot attend, but would like to help out with this event, we are in need of desserts, as well as items to auction off during the silent auction.
Also, remember we have an In-a-Pinch Program, which is a babysitting/ tutoring service designated to help parents and families in need. We also have our Counselor Cheer Squad, ready to cheer on any of our campers at their school plays, sports games, etc. Please send us a request with the time, date and details of what you need! We will try our very best to find counselors to fulfill your requests. We always try our hardest to complete each request and help out our families as best as we can!!
Finally, we have some new apparel! We have some quarter-sleeve navy or black baseball tees available. Of course they will be available at the Spring Reunion, but if you would like them sooner, please let us know!
Thanks everyone, and we hope our newsletter is helpful and informational. Feel free to give us any feedback on them!
