SUNSHINE CAMPER
ENDOWMENT Each summer over 200 campers with intellectual and developmental disabilities attend the Sunshine Camp program free of charge to their families. For an immediate or planned gift of $15,000, or more, you can endow a camper, in perpetuity, ensuring our continued ability to provide this program at no cost to families. Sunshine Camp is the only facility of its kind in the Finger Lakes region that gives children this opportunity, every summer. And it gives their parents a much-needed respite, and the joy of knowing their children will have an incredible week spending time with and making new friends, learning, and growing in their social and emotional independence, and participating in activities that in most traditional settings are not accessible to them. An endowment can be an immediate or a planned gift (ex. IRA beneficiary, Insurance beneficiary, Bequest, etc.) but the intention of the gift should be communicated to ensure your wishes are met.
