Press Release, Camp Rising Sun

Camp Rising Sun, known for providing nurturing camp experiences for children diagnosed with cancer, proudly announces its 22nd Annual Night Out to Benefit the Kids at Camp Rising Sun. This event is a cornerstone of the camp’s fundraising efforts, with all proceeds directly benefiting its programs. Enhancing this year’s fundraiser, the Yvette and Arthur Eder Foundation has generously offered to match every donation made from June 1 to July 17, 2024, up to $100,000.

The Annual Night Out is an opportunity for community members to come together to support a worthy cause. The event includes a buffet dinner, live music, kid’s activities, silent auction and raffles. This year’s match from the Yvette and Arthur Eder Foundation effectively doubles the potential impact of each donation, providing an even greater opportunity to support the campers of Camp Rising Sun.

Shaun Heffernan, Executive Director of Camp Rising Sun, spoke about the event, saying, "We are deeply thankful for the Yvette and Arthur Eder Foundation's support. Their matching grant is a significant boost to our fundraising efforts, allowing us to further our mission. We invite everyone to join us at the Annual Night Out – it's a chance to make a meaningful contribution and enjoy a great evening."

The matching grant from the Yvette and Arthur Eder Foundation presents a valuable opportunity for donors to maximize their contributions, ensuring that the camp can continue to offer its essential services at no cost to the families it serves.

Tickets for the 22nd Annual Night Out are now available. Interested parties are encouraged to join this significant event, contributing to a cause that brings light and hope to children facing the challenges of cancer.
