The AFCCA Foundation for Children was honored to attend the Camp Patrick 2025 Gala Under the Stars, a beautiful Kentucky Derby-themed evening dedicated to supporting an incredible mission: giving children with Spina Bifida the opportunity to enjoy a traditional summer camp experience.
Our presence at this year’s gala reflects the heart of our mission—Keeping Arizona Schoolchildren Happy and Healthy—and celebrates the powerful partnerships that make our work possible.
Honoring Our Board Members and Supporters
Representing the Foundation at the event were several of our dedicated board members and longtime champions of our mission:
-
Sabrina Messinger of Messinger’s Funeral Home
-
Megan Millage of Dignity Memorial
-
William Patterson of Hansen Mortuaries
-
Madison Dowers of Camino Del Sol Funeral Chapel
These individuals are not only leaders in their respective fields but also key supporters of our Foundation’s vision to serve Arizona children in need. Their ongoing commitment, time, and generosity enable us to support programs like Camp Patrick and many others throughout the state.
Why Camp Patrick Matters
Camp Patrick provides an accessible and empowering summer camp experience for children with Spina Bifida. Their programs offer adventure, friendship, and the kind of joy that every child deserves. It’s a mission that aligns perfectly with our Foundation’s focus on supporting the whole child—physical, emotional, and social well-being included.
