Celebrating Impact: Camp Hamwi Red Carpet Day

On July 30, we had the pleasure of hosting our annual Red Carpet Day at Camp Hamwi. This day brought supporters, camp staff, and campers together for a day filled with connection and fun. Camp Hamwi is a summer camp for children and teenagers living with diabetes. Campers have the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in an environment where they feel empowered in their diabetes management while enjoying a camp experience and making lifelong friends.

Camp Hamwi’s Red Carpet Day was an opportunity for donors and supporters to see firsthand the impact their support helps sustain. With their contributions, Camp Hamwi is able to grow and improve each year, making more opportunities and activities available for campers to enjoy. Last year, with the help and generosity of Camp Hamwi supporters, we were able to purchase CampViews, an electronic medical record system that monitors glucose levels. With the monitoring of both CampViews and the camp staff, parents can have peace of mind while their child is away at camp.

During Red Carpet Day, our guests gathered to enjoy lunch alongside the campers. They witnessed the comradery among campers and participated in the camp cheers. After lunch, our guests received an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the campgrounds, seeing everything that Camp Hamwi has to offer – including the horses! We all left camp feeling inspired by the positive impact Camp Hamwi has on the hundreds of youths who gathered for a week of connection, joy, and fun!
