Thank you for joining me in supporting the Louis August Jonas Foundation and Camp Rising Sun by contributing to my Alumni Weekend Walk-Bike-Run fundraiser! I am proud to serve on the Board of this incredible organization.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of my first summer at CRS and I am excited to return to Camp for Reunion over May 17-19 and see my CRS friends from 1974. Every dollar I raise will support the 2024 Camp Rising Sun Programs and over 150 campers from 30+ countries as they expand their knowledge of ethical leadership and put it into practice. To learn more about our organization, go to our website at lajf.org and check out our Instagram to see our mission in action!

Thank you for supporting me and this organization that is so close to my heart.

I have carried Camp inside me for more than 40 years and I have enjoyed every opportunity to give back.

TONY'S CRS STORY

When you hear people talk about their Camp Rising Sun experiences, the two descriptions that come up  most often are “transformative and “life changing” –  I feel the same. At Camp, I truly understood what “common humanity” means for the first time. I learned that beneath the surface of culture and experience, we are all more similar than we are different. For all of our campers, this deliberate lesson engenders respect for others and encourages us to be open to what we may learn from one another. Take a look at what’s going on in the world today. It’s obvious that mutual respect and understanding are in short supply.
