For my Bar Mitzvah project, I chose to support the Bear Hug Foundation, which helps underprivileged and at-risk kids experience summer camp. In addition to raising funds, I will also be collecting sporting equipment to donate.
Camp Tanuga is my happy place. It’s part of my family’s story — three generations of my family have gone there, which makes it extra special to me. Camp has helped me become more independent and confident, and I’ve made friendships that feel like family.
Camp also helps you grow in ways you don’t always notice right away, like how to bounce back when things are hard, how to be kind, and what it feels like to truly belong. Camp has given me so much, and I want more kids to have that same opportunity.
Supporting Bear Hug is my way of passing the magic of Tanuga forward.
Thank you for helping me share the gift of camp.
