Lafayette's Camp Kesem will receive $100,000 to provide college students across the nation with the tools and support necessary to create self-sustaining summer camp programs for children who have or have had a parent with cancer. "We have always felt like our mission is powerful and we are thrilled that the members of the Advisory Board feel the same way. The Chase Community Giving experience has helped us to raise awareness about the often overlooked population that we serve," said Sigall Rave, National Program Director for Camp Kesem. "$100,000 will enable us to eventually impact countless additional families coping with a parent's cancer and will help us to continue empowering the leaders of tomorrow.
