About The Milton Marks Family Camp
The Milton Marks
Neuro-Oncology Family Camp represents an unprecedented effort
to address the needs of brain tumor patients and their families that
reach beyond medical therapy. Spanning three days, the camp creates
a space where families with a parent who has brain cancer come
together to create a community where they feel supported, cared for,
and understood. The burden of care and isolation that often comes
with this illness is temporarily lifted so that families can deepen
their connections with their spouses and children, make new friends,
and come to better understand what that are facing.
Please help us fund our next in-person camp in September, 2024!
We'd love to be able to offer space for 15-20 families in this year's camp at beautiful Walker Creek Ranch. We are a nearly all volunteer-run organization, so your money goes directly to camp costs and programming to make this the best time ever for our brain tumor families.
We are asking you to support the work of MMFC as generously as you can with a tax-deductible gift. Your support goes directly to the services MMFC will be providing this year both to returning and new camper families. Here’s an example of the difference you can make:
- A $100 contribution provides a family and staff camp t-shirts
-
A $250 donation covers the stipend of a mental health provider
- A $350 gift funds a massage therapist for the weekend
- A $500 gift funds a camp volunteer's housing and meals for the 4-day camp (including staff training day!)
- A $1000 gift covers art supplies for our annual family art project
-
A $2500 contribution underwrites our music program for 2023,
funding our 3 talented musicians camp and rehearsal time.
- A $3500 donation funds a NEW FAMILY to be able to come to camp!
- A $4000 gift underwrites our annual portrait photography and camp yearbook program
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we have already made a great start on funding Camp 2023 (August 11-13, 2023 at Walker Creek Camp!). Please help us reach our final goal of raising $80,000 to fund 10-15 families at this year's Camp!. As a primarily volunteer-run non-profit, every penny raised goes towards helping families coping with a parent's brain tumor!
