The organization aims to provide children with the best medical care at Penn State Health Children’s Hospital and fund research to develop treatments and cures for other children around the world.

When Sgt. Samantha Minnucci became the director of Camp Cadet of Chester County in 2014, her youngest brother, Gabriel Minnucci, was eager to help her set up for the event. After Camp Cadet ended, Gabriel couldn’t stop asking his sister about the program and noting how he wanted to enroll in the camp one day. However, Samantha knew that wouldn’t be possible because Gabriel has special needs and is over the age limit. As a result, she decided to create a program so that her brother could learn about the law enforcement agencies that serve the local community. “Gabriel has an amazing personality and lights up any room when he walks into it,” said Samantha. “He has the biggest heart and has always been my No. 1 fan in my career choice.”
