Northwestern Mutual – through its Foundation – recognizes the unique experience and support that camp provides to children and families undergoing treatment for cancer. To bring the joy and feeling of camping to children who are unable to travel due to health status, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation provided $50,000 in grant awards to help create a hands-on camp experience for children undergoing inpatient treatment in select hospitals nationwide.
“When children and their families receive a cancer diagnosis, simple childhood moments may feel as though they are taken away,†said Eric Christophersen, president of the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. “We believe every child deserves the opportunity to live life to the fullest, and Northwestern Mutual is working with camps and partners nationwide to help bring that sense of relief to kids and families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis.â€
