This is my 10th year as Assistant Director for this amazing organization. Help me celebrate my birthday and my 10th year with camp by donating to support families coping with a parent's brain tumor!
Milton Marks Family Camp is a free annual weekend camp retreat, providing respite and community for families coping with a parent's malignant brain tumor . At camp, caregivers don’t have to think about who’s watching their kids or their sick partners while they get a massage or engage in art therapy. Patients know that their doctors and nurses understand what everyday life is like for them living with a brain tumor, because the medical team is living on-site sharing the experience. The children are surrounded by other children just like them. There are songs, support groups, and a campfire with s’mores.
Camp was an amazing experience in 2024 and we are excited to gather again in 2025.
As Camp's Assistant Director for the last nine years, I've seen that this community a blessing for those it serves, but it's also a blessing for those who participate in building it. You can read more about my personal experience at MMFC in this HuffPost article and YOU can help us support more families this year by donating to Milton Marks Family Camp. I am trying to raise $1500 for MMFC for my birthday, December 9th. A gift in any amount make a big difference to families coping with brain tumors. Thank you for your support!
As the year comes to a close, we invite you to join us in supporting the Milton Marks Family Camp through our Resilience Together Campaign!
This is not just a fundraiser; it’s a chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of families facing one of the toughest battles imaginable—brain cancer.
For families affected by brain cancers, the challenges are immense, and the road ahead can feel isolating. But through Milton Marks Family Camp, these families find not only support but the strength to carry on. This year, we’re launching the Resilience Together campaign, focused on building strength through community. We know that when families come together in a space that is safe and supportive, they discover the power of resilience.
Your donation will help provide critical programs, emotional support, and resources for families navigating the uncharted waters. Through our camp, families share their stories, connect with others who understand their journey, and find a renewed sense of hope. Whether it’s participating in therapeutic activities, attending educational sessions, or simply spending quality time in a safe, caring environment, the camp is a life-changing experience.
Every gift you make goes directly to creating a space where families can build relationships, share strength, and leave with the courage to face whatever comes next. We are grateful for your generosity and belief in the power of community to heal, uplift, and build resilience.
Together, we are stronger. Together, we are resilient.
Please join us in making 2024 a year of renewed strength for the families we serve. Your support—whether big or small—helps us provide the resources and environment where families can grow, heal, and face the future with hope.
Donate today and help us build strength through community. Thank you for being part of the Resilience Together movement.
