Christi Anderson Rack Pack Foundation

Here is a website/foundation started by a family in Utah.  Some of you may be interested in checking it out and possibly having your family sponsor a bag for you or for someone else.  Here is the info.

Hi, my name is Sarah and my family and I just started a non-profit foundation in Utah called The Christi Anderson Rack Pack Foundation. We provide personal support to women going through breast cancer treatment. You can check out our website at http://www.rackpackfoundation.com/.


We currently have been making "treatment bags" which are cute tote bags filled with goodies for women that are going through chemotherapy/radiation. You can see our bags on the Shop/Donate bag of our website.
I lost my 32-year-old sister last February to triple negative breast cancer and we started this foundation in her honor and to help other young women going through treatment and help lift their spirits and provide support in any way we can.

Camp Kesem - Make the Magic

Camp Kesem is a week long Summer camp for kids age 6-16. This is a camp for kids whose parents have, or have had, or died from cancer. This camp has been wonderful for my kids. It is free to the children and their families. It is entirely run by donations. Make the Magic is one of their biggest fundraisers. It will be held December 11 (Sat) at 6pm in the Skyroom of the Wilkinson Center (at BYU). This is a silent auction dinner and there will be a short presentation about Camp Kesem. The dinner is free (I think). If you'd like to attend please RSVP via e-mail (BYU@campkesem.org) by Wednesday December 8. They should start accepting applications for the 2011 camp sometime in January. Make sure that you RSVP ASAP if you want to go to the dinner. http://www.campkesem.org/site/c.jvI0ImN0JuE/b.2536437/k.79B1/Camp_Kesem_BYU.htm
