Some of you know my story, and some of you may not.
The handsome guy in the photo below (yes, that’s me, Adam) battled cancer 32 years ago as a kid. I was diagnosed with an astrocytoma brain tumor that was thankfully caught early, treated, and removed.
One of the greatest gifts to come from that experience was Camp Sunshine. It was a place where I met other kids who truly understood what I was going through. For one week, cancer wasn’t what defined us. We weren’t patients—we were just kids having fun, making friends, and creating memories that would last a lifetime.
This summer marks my 33rd year with Camp Sunshine. From camper, to counselor, to volunteer, Camp Sunshine has been a huge part of my life and my journey.
On June 20th, I’ll be trading pizza ovens at Capozzi’s for camp kitchens and a week of making sugary treats, cookies, and plenty of memories with some incredible kids who are currently fighting battles far bigger than most people can imagine.
Camp Sunshine provides year-round programs and a completely free summer camp experience for children in Georgia battling cancer. It costs about $1,000 to send one child to camp for a week, and every dollar raised helps make that possible.
If you’d like to help, any amount—whether it’s $5, $50, or more—can make a real difference in a child’s life.
You can donate through my fundraising page or Venmo me at , and I’ll make sure every dollar goes directly to Camp Sunshine.
If donating isn’t possible right now, please consider sharing this post. Sometimes a simple share can help us reach the person who can make all the difference.
Cancer took a lot from many of us, but Camp Sunshine gave us something back: friendship, confidence, hope, laughter, and a chance for kids to simply be kids.
Thank you to our Capozzi’s family and community for always supporting causes that are so close to my heart. ❤️☀️
