Special Love

06/26/2026

June is National Cancer Survivor Month, and we're celebrating cancer survivors everywhere. 💛

Did you know that a person is considered a survivor from the moment they receive a cancer diagnosis? Survivorship includes every type of cancer, every age, and every stage of the journey.

This month—and every month—we honor our survivors and all they have overcome. We can't wait to welcome many of them to Camp Fantastic in just a few weeks where they can be reminded that they're never alone. 🫂

⛳ Our Annual Golf Tournament was truly above par!

This was our biggest tournament yet, with 192 golfers joining us for a day on the course filled with friendly competition, new connections, and support for children with cancer and their families.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, golfers, and volunteers, we raised a record-breaking $85,000+ to help Special Love continue our mission! 🎉

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this event a success. 💚

An extra special thank you to our photographer- Bill Brouillette for capturing the day. Be on the lookout later for all the pictures! 📸

Under 7 Day was a blast! 💙

Our youngest campers and their families spent the day making memories at Frying Pan Park. ☀🌈

Hayrides, face painting, caricature drawings, balloon animals, crafts, and endless smiles—what more could you ask for?

Thank you to all the families who spent the day with us. We can't wait to see you again soon! ✨
