Care Camps and Rigero are partnering to help more children with cancer and their families attend camp.
Rigero became a Kampgrounds of America (KOA) certified vendor in 2022. When the company learned of KOA’s partnership and commitment to Care Camps, Rigero joined the cause, Care Camps said.
“As we began to build our relationship with KOA campgrounds, we knew we wanted to be a part of Care Camps as well,” Rigero CEO Roy Cole said. “We are excited to help children facing cancer get to camp and feel like kids again. Giving back on behalf of our KOA customers to a cause important to each of us has become an important part of our mission.”
Rigero, based in Southfield, Michigan, developed its patent-pending Bio-Health Pod Systems to restore ponds and lakes, solving difficult muck, aquatic weed and algae problems.
For every Bio-Health Pod System sold to a KOA campground, Rigero will donate $250 to Care Camps. Each donation will be made on behalf of the participating campground.
Care Camps offers funding to 132 specialized pediatric oncology camps across North America. These camps serve thousands of children and their families throughout their cancer journey, Care Camps said.
“The oncology camp setting creates connection and community for children experiencing cancer,” said Wade Elliott, Care Camps board chairman. “The relationships built, and skills learned at camp influence them well into adulthood. We are grateful for businesses like Rigero who also place an emphasis on creating meaningful industry partnerships to make a difference in the lives of these kids and their families.”
