Sunrise Association Speaker Event

We hosted Julia Kane and Bonnie Flatow from the Sunrise Association at the GNS Library on December 15th. The talk covered pediatric cancer from the family side of the experience — what Sunrise Day Camp does, what camp means for a kid in treatment, and the concrete ways students can plug in.

What we heard

Sunrise runs a free summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings. The camp is medically supported, and for many families it's the only week of the year that resembles a normal childhood. The economics are simple: the camp runs on donations, and every team that walks on June 14 funds more beds.

What came next

The speaker event led directly into our Walk to Give Summer Back team sign-ups. If that's a through-line we want — host speakers, feed the walk — this was a good proof of concept.

Event recap coming soon — Aayan will fill in the full story, numbers, and photo gallery. The outline below is a placeholder so the page has shape.
