Kesem at the Claremont Colleges

Kesem at the Claremont Colleges Kesem is a nationwide community, driven by passionate college student leaders, that supports children through and beyond their parent’s cancer.

Kesem is a federally registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Kesem is a diverse community led by passionate and empathetic college students working to ensure that children facing the challenges of a parent’s cancer have space, connection, and support to rediscover the joys of childhood. Our mission is to support children through and beyond their parent’s cancer with free, fun-filled crea

tive programs and a lasting community. Kesem at the Claremont Colleges was founded in 2015 and supports children in the Claremont community by providing Camp Kesem, a free week-long summer camp experience, and year-round Through and Beyond support services. Our chapter is operated by 15 student volunteers and serves 50 campers ages 6-18 per year. Kesem operates at more than 130 chapters coast-to-coast. Its programs and services are all funded by generous donations from individuals, foundations, and corporate partners.

Giving Tuesday may be over, but we're still going strong 💙

We're just $2,900 away from reaching our fundraising goal for this week, and we need your help to close the gap. In making a gift to Kesem, you're providing children facing a parent's cancer with joy, connection, and empowering support that lasts a lifetime.

You can help us strengthen the invisible thread of Kesem—allowing us to reach even more kids: https://donate.kesem.org/claremont26 ✨

We’re so thankful for the day we’ve shared so far, and the impact you’ve all made for our Kesem chapter... and we’re not done yet.

Every gift today helps create the moments that shape a child’s journey at Kesem—songs around a campfire, laughter with new friends, the joy of going down the water slide, and sitting with others who truly understand. Together, we can weave an even stronger thread of Kesem’s impact, connecting those facing a parent’s cancer to each other, to us, and to a lifetime of support. ✨

There’s still time for you to make a difference: https://donate.kesem.org/claremont26
