Community Rec: Sunrise Day Camp Coming to JCC Chicago

An extremely rare opportunity in the form of Sunrise Day Camp is coming to the JCC Chicago next summer. The Sunrise Association Day Camps are the world’s only dedicated day camps for children with cancer and their siblings, all offered free of charge to families.

Addie Goodman, the president and CEO of the JCC Chicago, said next year’s event would be one of just seven Sunrise Day Camps available in the U.S.

“I feel incredibly honored to be joining the Sunrise team and be a part of Sunrise Day Camp,” said Goodman. “It’s not a small feat. It’s a tremendous amount of dollars and resources needed but doing this sort of work is everything the JCC Chicago is about. If anyone in our community is going to do this, it’s us. I’m so thrilled by this.”
