Lippert will launch a year-long program to donate 1.5% of all its consumer eCommerce sales to Care Camps.
Care Camps offers funding to specialized pediatric oncology camps across the country, serving children and their families throughout their cancer journey.
“We are passionate about our partnership with Care Camps because of their focus on removing barriers for kids with cancer to attend camp,” said Michilah Grimes, Lippert’s Corporate & Community Impact Director. “Lippert creates products that make the outdoors a great place to be. Together, with Care Camps and our consumers, we get to be part of giving that experience to kids who need it most.”
Lippert has supported Care Camps with several donor campaigns. Last September, Lippert donated a percentage of sales to Care Camps in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Lippert said the initiative inspired its leadership team to expand efforts in 2023.
“This commitment from Lippert aids Care Camps in our mission to provide the camp experience for every child diagnosed with cancer,” said Gwynn Sullivan, Care Camps executive director. “Together, we create connection, healing, and joy for families and communities. We are so grateful for our partnership.”
Care Camps funds over 132 specialized pediatric oncology camps across the United States and Canada. Each facility provides specially trained counselors and on-site services ensured by healthcare professionals so children going through cancer can safely attend camp. These camps create an opportunity for kids to connect with peers and counselors who understand what they are going through. Whenever possible, those connections and the ability to attend camp is extended to the entire family.
“Having visited a couple of different camps over the years,” Grimes said, “I have witnessed firsthand the life-changing opportunities these camps offer to not just children that attend the camps but also their families.”
