Campers Inn RV Donates More Than $700,000 to Care Camps – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Campers Inn RV has donated more than $700,000 to support Care Camps’ mission, according to a press release from the company
Care Camps helps children who are going through cancer experience the outdoors at medically supervised camps with other children going through the same experience. This charity truly is a life-changing experience for kids and is a cause that many of the industry’s leading companies have supported.
Nearly three quarters of a million dollars have been raised by all 38 Campers Inn RV locations through employee payroll deductions, the corporate matching program and special events in less than two years. This generous contribution not only reaffirmed the company’s dedication to giving back to the community but also solidified Campers Inn’s position as the second-largest donor for this important cause, surpassing other major industry players.
The initial launch of the Care Camps initiative was through a golf tournament tied in with the RV/MH Hall of Fame Dinner. At this tournament, which was sponsored and hosted by Campers Inn, over $10,000 was raised.
In 2022, Campers Inn RV held its inaugural Glitter and Gold Gala, and the remarkable event went above and beyond all expectations. The gala managed to raise over $500,000. The night was filled with excitement and generosity as attendees participated in a thrilling live auction, silent auction, and an enticing raffle.
“The generosity of Campers Inn and the Hirsch family, coupled with their sincere passion to make a difference in the lives of others propels our mission to new heights,” said Wade Elliott Care Camps Board of Directors Chair. “Campers Inn’s commitment to Care Camps begins with their leadership, extends to their employee base, and ripples across the United States and Canada impacting thousands of children living with cancer and their families. Campers Inn’s leadership in their support of Care Camps is an example to the industry of giving back to their customer’s communities.”
To date, Campers Inn RV’s contributions will allow more than 12,000 children with cancer, 8,500 siblings and 6,000 parents to attend Care Camps. The donations also funded 190 grants for camps to aid with operations, to perform upgrades on structures and to buy equipment.
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., Campers Inn RV was established in 1966 and has grown to become the nation’s largest family-operated dealership group with 37 locations throughout the East Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions. In 2010 and consecutively since 2014, Campers Inn RV has been selected as one of RVBusiness Magazine’s Top50 Dealers in North America and was named a Top 5 Blue Ribbon Award winner in 2022 marking the fourth time Campers Inn RV has earned this prestigious honor.
