Camp Kesem at Texas A&M University, a chapter part of a nationwide community driven by passionate college student leaders that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer, announces plans for its spring fundraiser, Make the Magic. Make the Magic will be held on Saturday, April 27 at Phillips Event Center at Briarcrest in College Station. Tickets for the event are $60 and are available at www.donate.kesem.org/TAMUMTM2019.
At this year’s Make the Magic, guests will enjoy cocktail hour (cash bar), silent auction, three-course dinner, presentation, speakers, live auction, and paddle raise donation. Funds raised during this annual fundraising night of dinner, philanthropy, and entertainment will help provide year-long peer support and send more than 140 kids to camp.
In the summer of 2018, nearly 9,000 children attended free summer camps during more than 100 week-long sessions of Camp Kesem held at fun and exciting sites from coast-to-coast. Camp Kesem is organized locally in the Brazos Valley by dedicated students from Texas A&M University. This summer, Camp Kesem at Texas A&M University will host 140 campers total in two separate camp sessions (July 1st - July 6th and July 28th - August 2nd) at Forest Glen Camp in Rosebud, Texas.
Children attending Camp Kesem at Texas A&M University will participate in a host of fun activities including Messy Olympics, Arts & Crafts, Talent Show, Lake Time, Ropes Courses, and much more. Nightly “Cabin Chats” allow campers to open up to their peers and counselors.
Camp Kesem at Texas A&M University is organized by dedicated students who work year-round to plan and fundraise for an impactful week of camp. Student volunteers and counselors experience leadership development and undergo extensive training prior to camp. Camp Kesem is provided free of charge to all participating families and is therefore supported by private donations and community support.
