BENEFITING: CAMP SUNSHINE AT SEBAGO LAKE
ORGANIZER: Jason
EVENT: Virginia Polar Dip
EVENT DATE: Feb 02, 2013
THE STORY:
For the third year in a row, our group of friends is jumping in a frozen lake to raise money for a great cause.
Camp Sunshine (http://www.campsunshine.org/) provides respite, support, joy and hope to children with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families through various stages of a child’s illness. The year-round program is free of charge to all families, and includes 24-hour onsite medical and psychosocial support. Bereavement groups are also offered for families who have lost a child to an illness.
The Virginia Polar Dip was started by the Toth family in 2008 after a long history with Camp Sunshine. They first attended Camp Sunshine as a participating family in 1996 when their daughter Jennifer was a cancer patient at age 3, and they have returned as volunteers every summer since. After Jennifer participated in a Camp Sunshine Polar Dip in New Jersey, her family decided to bring the event to Virginia in order to help more local families.
Every little bit helps, so please give as you can and help us raise money for this great organization.
Regards,
