Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) is preparing to host Care Camps Big Weekend at 376 participating campgrounds throughout North America. Now in its 18th year, the event kicks off camping season while raising funds for the Care Camps Foundation, which provides medically supervised pediatric oncology camps for children with cancer, according to a press release.
During the weekend, participating campgrounds will donate 50% of each camper’s second-night stay to the Care Camps Foundation. Many of these campgrounds will also host special events and fundraising activities to raise awareness and give campers more ways to support Care Camps.
“The Care Camps Foundation has always been near and dear to our hearts,” said KOA’s President and CEO Toby O’Rourke. “Every year, our campgrounds and campers eagerly anticipate this special weekend outdoors, all while backing a truly meaningful cause. Through this event — and alongside other fundraising efforts — KOA and our network of campgrounds collectively contribute over $1 million annually to support the Care Camps Foundation.”
