We have been fortunate to help so many children in so many different ways.
The following messages are from the children and their families…
"To some of us, camp is a place filled with friendship, good feelings and care. But camp is a memory that will never be lost. All the good times we spend here, our laughter, our courage, go with us wherever we go. I guess the best thing about camp is the people and the love we share."
Peter Riley - 21, Medulloblastoma & Meningioma

"I am thankful for having such great experiences I had never dreamed of before. I was able to watch Chivas USA from the suite and was given a jersey signed by my favorite player, Claudio Suarez. Thank you Soccer For Hope for making my fight against cancer a better journey."

"Camp is a time for us to connect with families that understand what we have been through. It's a time to not feel alone and to take a break from daily routine. It is also a special, fun trip for our son Michael that we hope to do every year."
