The Wildflower Camp Foundation is pleased to announce The Friends Network, a program which strives to develop a close connection between the giver and the receiver. We have formed the network to help guide and strengthen our Foundation. We are asking you to consider a deeper involvement and commitment to our cause. As a Friend, you will have a profound impact on the life of a bereaved child, restoring to them the promise of summer and help in the healing process after the loss of a parent.

Wildflower’s Founder Cyndi Jones highlights the benefits of this approach. “This initiative at Wildflower is an opportunity for donors to participate in an innovative way. With an initial donation of $1,000, donors will become a vital part of a group committed to the mission and future of Wildflower.”  Contributors may give as an individual donor, as a business, as part of a family or friends group, or in memory or honor of a loved one.

Research from bereavement professionals shows that early intervention can have a significant impact in helping families minimize the damage caused by the trauma of the death of a parent. By granting camp scholarships, Wildflower provides a catalyst that enables bereaved families to begin to rebuild their lives. Through a supportive camp environment, children rekindle their spirit, creativity, and talents while parents have a time for respite and healing.

Wildflower is at a new juncture in its history. As word spreads about the value of our program, the number of applicants continues to expand each year.  As a growing organization, we face an increasing demand for our services that has required us to turn some deserving families away. In response to this demand, Wildflower is expanding our Friends Network to enable our Foundation to get to the next level in serving bereaved children.

Our goal for the future is to expand our reach.  To do so we need to expand our network of committed donors. Our wish is to increase — even double —the number of families we can serve, and to continue our support of each family for as long as it is needed.  We hope you will open your heart and decide to send a bereaved child to camp.  On our part, we promise that those who invest in The Friends Network will have the opportunity to witness the impact of their donations with information about how their funds are being utilized. 

Wildflower intends to work diligently to fulfill the promise of summer for its present families and those yet to come.  We hope that you can join us.

To join The Friends Network, please send your donation of $1000 or more to Wildflower CampFoundation, PO Box 81116, Wellesley Hills, MA02481.  For further information, please call 781-861-1413 or email us at info@wildflowercampfoundation.com.
