PROGRAM:
Our program began with a presentation by our President, JoAnn Williams, of a $2500 donation to the Director of Camp Hope, Mike Brown. Program Chairman, Lori Hopp introduced the speaker.
Camp Hope was founded in the 1980s by Donna Brown with the American Cancer Society. The camp was established to allow children with cancer to have the same opportunities for enjoyment as other children. Located at Camp Aldrich near Great Bend, the camp is held during the third week of June each year. Average attendance at the camp is 65 to 70 campers with a volunteer staff of 70 adults.
Mike Brown is a cancer survivor and also a former camper. Mike attended the camp for several years and met his wife at Camp Hope. Hutchinson AMBUCS have been a financial supporter of Camp Hope since its inception.
