What a night. 💛 And what a difference this community makes.
On October 2nd, our Camp Korey community gathered for GROW 2026 to celebrate the magic that happens when children with complex medical conditions get the chance to experience joy, adventure, belonging, and the freedom to simply be kids. Ans because of the incredible generosity in the room and beyond, we raised nearly $1 million and counting toward that vision.
To every guest, donor, bidder, volunteer, camper, board member, sponsor, and friend: thank you for believing in Camp Korey and making the magic of camp possible. ✨
A special thank you to:
• Niagara Cares, our Presenting Sponsor
• Abercrombie & Fitch, Newman's Own Foundation, Lynn and Bruce Gibson Family Foundation, and The Clorox Company, our Campfire Sponsors
• John L. Scott Foundation, Fry Family, and Elevate Partners, our Lantern Sponsors
• lydigconstruction, Crider Foods, and Seattle Children's, our Stars in The Sky Sponsors
We're also deeply grateful to:
• H.D. Fowler, our 2026 honoree, for their longstanding partnership and impact, and beautiful words shared with the room about the impact and responsibility of being in community.
• Camp Director Kortney Smith, who guided us through the evening as emcee and brought the spirit of camp to every moment.
• Matt Lorch, whose energy and heart made for an unforgettable auction experience.
• The Sjogren Family, for sharing a piece of their Camp Korey journey with us.
• reveriephotobooth.co, our photobooth sponsor, for helping guests capture the magic.
• Our talented volunteer event photographers for preserving the memories of this incredible night.

Most importantly, thank you to the campers and families who remind us every day why this work matters. Because of this community, more children will discover that "I can" is possible. 💛
