Compassion is Camp’s Theme

The Windsor Star ~ 17 Jul 2008

 

The Better World Association is hosting its annual Camp 4 Compassion this weekend in an effort to promote awareness about bone marrow donation and the national bone marrow registry.

Camp 4 Compassion is a camping weekend for the whole family that features live entertainment, a car show, a fashion show, dancing and other events.

Local cancer and leukemia patients who need bone marrow transplants will participate and the organizers, Ron and Frank Giles, will use the opportunity to educate others about the importance of being on the bone marrow registry.

The camp is located at 708 County Road 34 in Leamington.

Opening ceremonies are Friday at 7 p.m. The camping fee is $20 per night or $30 for the entire weekend, with a maximum of six campers per site. Spaces are limited as more than 5,000 people are expected to attend this year.

For those who don’t plan on spending the night, day passes to Camp 4 Compassion are free. For more information or to register, visit www.camp4compassion.com.

Logan Moore - 2008 Camp4Compassion Ambassador...

Logan Moore a 5 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Leukemia has been chosen to be our Ambassador for this year's Camp 4 Compassion. He is the son of Windsor Firefighter Lance Moore and is a very remarkable young boy and his courage and strength is an inspiration for all of us.

This young boy will have to undergo very difficult treatments and procedures for the next 3 years and will likely need a bone marrow transplant. Logan, along with his brother Liam, will lead us into a 3 day inspirational, extremely memorable event. He will pull on our heart strings and make us more aware of the importance of the need to be on the bone marrow registry.
