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! As you may know, I am proud to serve on the board of this incredible organization.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of my first summer at CRS and I am excited to return to Camp for Reunion Weekend over May 17-19 and see my CRS friends from 1989 and other seasons. Every dollar I raise will support the 2024 Camp Rising Sun Programs and more than 150 campers from 30+ countries as they expand their knowledge of compassionate 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.

PETE'S CRS STORY

Now more than ever, the world needs compassionate leadership to navigate the many obstacles in our world and in our local communities. Camp Rising Sun taught me to see people for who they are, to genuinely listen to them, and to find common ground with others. If we are ever to come together to solve any of the conflicts we now see daily, the lessons and programs offered by LAJF are invaluable.
