Support Camp Kesem UPenn by participating in the Catch Karl 5K!
Participate in a race on the University of Pennsylvania campus and support children whose parents have cancer!
The Catch Karl 5K is just one of many fundraising efforts that supports Camp Kesem at the University of Pennsylvania. Camp Kesem is a student-run organization that provides a week-long camp for children whose parents have or have had cancer. The camp is free of cost to all families, but in order to provide this wonderful service, it is necessary that we raise $35,000 throughout the course of the year. This year we will be serving over 50 campers from the Greater Philadelphia Area.
