Orlando, FL Krew

When cancer affects a family, support is often there for the adults, but not always for the children. Camp Kesem ("kesem" means "magic" in Hebrew) is a college-student-run summer camp for kids 6-13 who have/had a parent with cancer. Enjoying a week of fun and meeting kids in their same situation, these young children can find the support and attention they need, that might be difficult for the parents to provide at home during this time.  What is also so magical about these camps is that each of the college student volunteers raises the necessary funds each year, with an annual budget of almost $12,000! 

The theme of this Karma Krew fundraiser is “Giving Back to the Caregivers” and we want to honor and acknowledge the Camp Kesem volunteers at the University of Florida & the University of Miami.  While these students may never have stepped onto a yoga mat, each of them is a practicing Karma Yogi - they are not working for fame or fortune, but selflessly hoping to improve the life of a child, one smile at a time.

Financial gifts will be collected during the first two weeks of April.  Please donate check/cash at either The Yoga Shala (Winter Park) or Red Sun Yoga (Winter Springs).  You may also donate on the Camp Kesem website but please remember to select either Univ of Florida or Univ of Miami when completing the online form!

We will be gathering at The Yoga Shala on Saturday, April 17th for a yoga practice and community time.  Please join us in honoring these amazing college students for their hard work! 

The Yoga Shala is located at 927 N. Pennsylvania Ave, Winter Park, FL.
