12th Annual CJR Invitational G

 

The CJR Memorial Foundation proudly supports the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia. There, families are able to stay free of charge while their child receives treatment at nearby hospitals including the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In Caleb’s name we are able to sponsor a room in full, lessening the stress and financial burden for all who stay there each year. We also assist families experiencing financial hardship while caring for their critically ill child. We help these families make ends meet by covering expenses like mortgage payments and utility bills so the parents are not forced to choose between their jobs and being by their child’s side.
Every August, Camp Timber Tops in Hawley, PA hosts the Ronald McDonald Camp for one week with over 200 campers! Ronald McDonald Camp is a place where kids with cancer and their siblings can enjoy just being kids. It is a week of fun, friendship, and freedom from feeling different. It is a chance to experience new activities and acquire new skills in a supportive, nurturing environment. Here, kids can talk openly about cancer and everybody else understands. Camp welcomes children ages 7 to 17 who are currently undergoing treatment or who have recently been treated for cancer. One sibling per camper also has the opportunity to attend. Almost 70% of the campers are children from Pennsylvania. Ronald McDonald Camp makes a significant impact on the many children who attend. We are excited to fully sponsor a cabin in 2020.
This will mark our 5th year partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation! Since 2016, the CJR Memorial Foundation has contributed nearly $25,000 to the Make-A-Wish chapter of NEPA in support of 6 wishes. These magical moments have included a bedroom makeover, trips to Walt Disney World, and even a tropical adventure to Hawaii.
