Kesem

Kesem is a leading national nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting children facing a parent’s cancer. Established in 2000, the company boasts a community of over 5,000 volunteer college student leaders across more than 130 college chapters throughout the United States. This vast network offers year-round programs and services to children aged 6-18, entirely free of charge for families. Its flagship initiative, Camp Kesem, is a week-long, sleep-away summer camp providing a vital outlet for these children. Additionally, Kesem provides a continuum of touchpoints for campers and their families beyond the camp experience. The organization is entirely funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporations.
