Camp Rising Sun - Annual Night Out

Description

The Annual Night Out to Benefit Camp Rising Sun is a 22-year tradition in the Branford community and beyond, celebrated each summer at the scenic Owenego Inn in Branford, Connecticut. This event is a festive evening filled with fun, food, and community spirit, all dedicated to supporting Camp Rising Sun and its mission to provide a week of camp for children diagnosed with cancer and their siblings.

Held on July 17, 2024, the event promises a relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy a cookout-style dinner accompanied by live music, kid-friendly games, silent auctions, and raffles. It's an evening where the community comes together to raise funds that are critical for the camp's operation, which is offered free of charge to its attendees.

This year, the impact of each donation will be doubled thanks to a matching grant from the Yvette and Arthur Eder Foundation, which pledges to match every dollar raised from June 1 to July 17, up to $100,000. This matching initiative greatly enhances the potential to provide even more children with an unforgettable camp experience.

Each ticket purchased not only offers an entry into a night of celebration but also contributes directly to the camp's funding, ensuring that Camp Rising Sun can continue to offer a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children and their siblings, helping them to forge lasting friendships and build resilience.

Typically attended by nearly 1000 people the Annual Night Out is not just a fundraiser; it's a testament to the power of community support and the difference it can make in the lives of children facing unimaginable challenges.
