Spotlight: Celebrations Send Kids to Camp Heart Connection

While Children’s Cancer Connection prepares camp staff and our campers get excited to head to Boone this summer, another piece of the puzzle is also falling into place: funding.

Last week, Dr. Braxton Pulley, our board president, hosted another successful “30 Kids to Camp” event at the Capital Room in Des Moines’ East Village. More than 100 people attended the event – and over $10,000 has been raised to date! Dr. Pulley has raised enough to send more than 33 kids to Camp Heart Connection.

Within the office, our very own Meridith Sayler is hosting her own birthday celebration, too: “24 Kids to Camp.” She has already surpassed her end goal, and still has her birthday celebration event to come at the end of April.

Since celebration-style events like these began in Children’s Cancer Connection in 2008, over 100 children have been provided the chance to go to camp.

If you would like to get involved and host your own birthday or anniversary type event, contact Tiffany K. Spinner at tiffany@childrenscancerconnection.com.
