Las Sendas Golf Club will host a golf tournament, on Dec. 7, in support of Arizona Camp Sunrise and Sidekicks, a medically staffed summer camp for children who have or have had cancer.
The golf tournament hopes to raise funds for this worthwhile cause. The entrance fee is $150 per golfer. Sponsors and donors are needed and welcome.
Volunteers in charge of this event are Lori Limberg and Meghan Remington. For more information about the golf tournament, visit the Web site at www.azcampsunrise.org.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) founded Arizona Camp Sunrise in 1983 to provide an exciting summer camp experience to children with cancer while tending to their unique medical needs.
The ACS recently announced the discontinuation of funding for childhood cancer support programs, such as Arizona Camp Sunrise. In response, the team, composed entirely of volunteer camp counselors and directors, came together to form its own 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Southwest Kids’ Cancer Foundation continues to raise funds in an effort to offer these services to the children who need them.
Many volunteer staff members have been involved with Arizona Camp Sunrise for decades, and many are former campers.
The Arizona Camp Sunrise leadership team includes Melissa Lee, camp director. Send an e-mail to just_mtastic@sbcglobal.net. Another member of the leadership team is Erin Vosseller, assistant camp director. Send an e-mail to erin.vosseller@summitschoolaz.org.
