Alright, ready to go. So I represent Kesem. I’m Kesem’s Chief Brand Officer, but I want to talk about Kesem today. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what we do, our mission is to support children through and beyond their parent’s cancer with free, funfilled, creative programs and a lasting community. I’ll dive into a little bit more about what that looks like. But we really center on creating fun, supportive spaces for children. In terms of what we do, just going into little bit more detail here, we really focus on thinking about building community as a way to really transform the experiences they have with their parent’s cancer journey. So as I mentioned before, we’re a free organization for all of the programs and services we offer. Our services are free and year around support. And what’s also important about who we reach is that we’re talking to children who have a parent that is at any stage of their cancer journey. So we want to make sure that all kids, no matter what their current experiences, if they have lost a parent or caregiver, if their parent is going through remission, or currently under treatment, that Kesem is a space for them to come and connect with others and get support. The way our model works is that we actually focus on peer-to-peer support. So we actually focus on engaging college students who are our core volunteers who actually deliver our programs. So they deliver our flagship program called Camp Kesem, which I’ll talk about in a few moments, but also a bunch of other free programs that we provide throughout the year in support of these children. And what we really are just focusing on is just creating a space for these young people to escape from their parent’s diagnosis, or just even if it’s for a short period of time, to really have a space to just be a kid, learn some coping mechanisms as well, and then just kind of fostering this ongoing support and community that’s really focused on helping these kids build resilience, confidence and just kind of find happiness and joy. So we just really invest in that recognizing that when there’s a cancer diagnosis, as we all know, right, it doesn’t just affect the person with the cancer diagnosis, it affects the whole family. And so we want to make sure that we are able to lift these children up and hopefully as a byproduct of that it is also supporting the family as well. In terms of where we are and where we offer our programs, we are in 44 states. So we’re a nationwide organization. As I mentioned before, we lean on our student volunteers on college campuses.

We have more than 130 chapters across the country as well. You can see where we are a little bit in this map. Our student leaders are 4,000. 4,000 student leaders serving almost double that in terms of children each year. So we are really everywhere. And we work really diligently to connect families with chapters that are close to them, and that they can build community and have that localized support.

In terms of our programs and services, as I mentioned before, Camp Kesem is what a lot of people know us as. We do offer, obviously our flagship program, that’s how we got started. We have some other touchpoints that we’ve introduced as well that we’re really excited about to provide that year around support, but Camp Kesem, in particular, is our free sleepaway camp through the summer. It’s for children 6 to 18. As I mentioned, it is for a family cancer diagnosis at any stage, and we really just focus on just creating those fun experiences. What is really important and I think a benefit of our model as well is that once a child is a part of Kesem, they are welcome back year over year until they’re 18 years old. And so it’s one of those that you can build confidence that your child has something to go back to, faces that they’ll know, relationships that they can kind of lean on year over year and we think that’s just really important in terms of that community of support. When you think about what we do at camp, it’s a bit of a different model. As I mentioned before, we focus on fun. So the activities are really targeted towards kids at their specific age groups. We have our camp counselors, we also have professional staff that support with mental health as well as just ensuring our safety protocols and policies are adhered to. But it’s a camp and so it’s a lot of fun, traditional camp activities. And there’s some tailored programming that we do throughout the week that really creates the space for children that want to to really talk about their experience with cancer. It’s very much an opportunity for you to opt in, if you’re comfortable, but also allowing children just to hear from others and if they feel like they don’t want to say anything, we’re not forcing that. So it really is creating a space for kids to kind of map out how they want to engage, and cope and reflect on their experience. In addition to the programming that we have at camp, we also try to accommodate families as best we can. So if you are a family that might be interested or know someone that might be, but you’re saying, oh, there’s some barriers to getting us to camp, or there some things I’m concerned about, I would encourage you to still reach out to us because we really do try to accommodate specific needs. And so that can be anything towards I need help with travel or I need help with getting camping supplies. We have some avenues to help families navigate that. And then in addition to that, we have these year around offerings, our Friends and Family Days, which are these in-person fun day events that happen in the spring and summer. Kesem By Your Side, which is a local service that we offer through our chapters that if you are a family that may need special support, some additional support at home, or need things to be brought to you if you’re going through some challenging phases of your treatment, there are ways that you can actually tap into having our local leaders kind of come and provide some additional volunteer support directly with your family. And so we wanted to tailor that. And our Special Deliveries are some messages that we send throughout the year to ourkiddos that are just recognizing their birthdays, but also more poignant moments like memorials just so they know that they’re not forgotten, and that we’re thinking of them at these critical milestones throughout the year. And everyone who joins our community gets a warm welcome just kind of inviting them to be a part of Kesem and helping to set the expectations for what we do, and how we’ll show up for them throughout the time that they’re a part of our programs. Just going to highlight here, what we know to be true from our years of practicing and delivering for families is that we do have an impact. We have heard from our parents that their child is advancing and having great strides in areas of self esteem, coping skills, competence, as well as social emotional intelligence through the benefits of our programs.

So just some stats here in terms of what parents have said about Kesem. And we are just so grateful that they see the value and think of us as part of their family and an extension of their family to the support that we offer. As I mentioned, we have a multitude of programs for families to kind of lean into. We currently have open seats available for our camps this summer, which are actually starting in just less than two weeks. But a number of our chapters across the country do have seats available. And so I would encourage anyone that is interested in applying or wants to learn more just to visit our website at kesem.org. You can apply directly on the website and we’re moving very quickly to address those applications and get signups and get folks information about attending camp this summer. That’s all. Thank you.
