When Marie first came to SWKCF, she brought with her a story etched in hospital nights, beeping monitors, and a brave sibling who carried more than his years. What she found was a community that met her with understanding, lifted her with hope, and helped her son rediscover the joy of simply being a kid again.

Because SWKCF is a Qualifying Charitable Organization, your donation becomes something powerful. You get it back at tax time and our kids get a chance to feel joy again. Everyone wins.

Joe was diagnosed with medulloblastoma at age seven, and after years of treatment, he arrived at Camp Sunrise as a quiet and anxious child. The camp quickly became a turning point. With the support of counselors like Eileen, Bob, and Stumpy, Joe found confidence, connection, and a sense of normalcy that childhood cancer had taken from him.

“This isn’t just a golf tournament, it’s a chance to give kids facing cancer the freedom to laugh, play, and just be kids. Every swing helps send children and their siblings from Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico to camp, where lifelong friendships and joyful memories are made.”

🌟 “I really enjoy seeing how excited the kids are before camp and when they see their friends they haven’t seen since the last camp. It’s so special to see even the shy first-time campers come back with great memories and best friends.” – Caitlyn, August 2025 Volunteer of the Month 💛

✨ On October 4th, we’re taking pickleball beyond the court at The Picklr in Scottsdale. This isn’t just a game; it’s a rally for kids with cancer and their siblings. Every serve helps send a child to camp, every cheer reminds families they’re not alone, and every laugh on the sidelines becomes proof that joy can rise even in the hardest battles. 💛

From jello fights to late-night laughter under the pines, Camp Sunrise and Sidekicks remind us that healing can be joyful. ABC15 shared our story of hope, resilience, and the power of community.
