Our chapter chooses to support the Center for Courageous Kids because we believe they are an organization that provides great services for children with illnesses. The camp is free of charge for all families so donations to CCK go a long way. Many women of our chapter have volunteered during family weekends or even worked the full summer at CCK. It is a place very special to many of our members.
