45,000 glowsticks. 5.6 miles of light. And a whole lot of meaning behind every single one.

This December at Under the Stars, we're attempting to break the current world record of 32,499 glowsticks. But these lights represent so much more than a record.

Those 45,000 lights represent the thousands of lives touched by Care Camps Foundation, including children facing cancer, their siblings, parents, and loved ones. Each light symbolizes the hope, joy, and lasting impact our mission brings to these children and their families.

We're coming together to celebrate those lives and help ensure even more families can experience the joy, connection, and unforgettable memories that camp provides.

We're not just breaking records. We're lighting the way for more families.

Camp is more than camp.

It's making a new best friend. Trying something for the first time. Laughing until your stomach hurts. And getting to just be a kid.

For children facing cancer, those moments can mean everything.

That's why we're coming together for Under the Stars. The Young Professionals Board is building a weekend around one simple idea: more kids deserve the chance to experience the magic of camp.

Whether you join us in Tampa or support from home, you're helping make those moments possible.

Let's talk about what $10.00 can do.

One glowstick? $10.00

45,000 glowsticks? A whole lot of people coming together for something bigger.

Through our Light a Stick campaign, just $10 lets you claim a light in our 45,000-glowstick world record attempt at Under the Stars.

But it's about more than breaking a record. It's about helping children with cancer experience the friendships, adventures, and unforgettable memories that come with camp.

Small contributions can create something pretty incredible when we all come together.

Light a Stick for a suggested $10.00 donation.

We’re proud to support Care Camps Foundation and the important work they do for children with cancer and their families.

This week on RVTV, we’re sharing their story through a special Designing Spaces of Hope program. It’s a great example of how the RV industry can come together to make a meaningful difference beyond the products and experiences we promote every day.

And we’re looking to build on that support.

We’re working with Care Camps on an exciting fundraising initiative for 2027 that will bring RVTV and our advertising partners together to make an even greater impact.

It’s an opportunity to put the reach of our network and the support of the RV industry behind a cause that means so much to so many families.

We’re looking forward to sharing more as those plans come together.

Watch this week on RVTV:

* Tuesday, October 13 at 6:30 PM ET
* Thursday, October 15 at 8 PM ET
* Saturday, October 17 at 6 PM ET

In the meantime, we encourage everyone to learn more about Care Camps Foundation and consider supporting their mission.

Who knew a little glow stick could do so much good? ✨💛

For a $10 donation, you can sponsor a glow stick and help @carecamps make camp experiences possible for children battling cancer, at no cost to their families. Think campfire laughs, new friendships, outdoor adventures, and the chance to just be a kid. 🏕️

Our Care Camps Young Professionals Board is aiming to connect 45,000 glow sticks at Under the Stars this December in Tampa for a WORLD RECORD attempt! Each light represents a child or family member impacted by the camps Care Camps supports.

You don’t have to attend to make a difference. Sponsor one, sponsor a handful, or invite your friends to help us light up the night! 🌟

And put Samantha Kay Bose down at checkout so my fellow board members know I’m pulling my weight and not just showing up for the s’mores. 😂🔥

- Camp tip: Tape glow sticks to your body at night and put on your own fun, dance party! 🪩

A little joy can make a BIG difference. 💗✨

We are so thankful for our incredible partnership with Mattel Children’s Foundation and their generous donation of toys to help bring smiles, comfort, and moments of happiness to children with cancer.

Through this special partnership, hospital-based camp programs and virtual Camp-in-a-Box programs received an assortment of Mattel toys, including Brave Barbie and Brave Ken dolls. These meaningful toys are a reminder to children facing cancer that they are brave, strong, and never alone.

And THIS is what it’s all about! Seeing the joy and smiles from campers at Camp Rise Above reminds us why partnerships like this are so meaningful.

A huge THANK YOU to Mattel Children’s Foundation for helping us create more moments of joy for these incredible children and their families. We are beyond grateful for your generosity and continued support of our mission! 💚
