Take Home a Piece of Camp Care!

Every year at the Capital Chefs' Showcase Silent Auction, attendees can bid on a bench painted by our Candlelighters at Camp Care.

Part of our Children's Programs, Candlelighters are children living with cancer and their siblings. For one week during the summer, they get to attend a day camp free of charge created especially for them at Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge. A highlight every year is getting their hands on a special convertible bench/table – who doesn’t love finger-painting? The bench then becomes part of the Silent Auction to raise money for Cancer Services to ensure the continuation of programs like Camp Care to aid those living with cancer in our community.
