CAMP HOPE

A No-cost Family Weekend Beach Retreat for kids fighting cancer, and their families

In 2023, Camp Hope became a reality, with a mission to give families with cancer a happy family weekend where they are pampered and loved and supported so that they could enjoy time together at a beautiful beach retreat in Eastern North Carolina, without a mention or conversation about cancer.

This weekend would not have been possible without the exceptional generosity of Mike Campbell, President of Leather Italia USA, who sponsored all 30 families who attended the event. Thank you, Mike!

JOE’S BUCKET BASH

A Two Day Charity Event at Capt'n Bills Backyard Grill & Volleyball Facility

Attendees enjoyed the Kick Off Celebration Dinner, Silent Action & Comedy Show on Friday evening, and Volleyball, Cornhole games, Face Painting and raffles all day Saturday.

We thank the founders and organizers of Joe’s Bucket Bash for their generous support of the Hope Abounds mission.
