25 Years of Happiness, Hope and Healing - Camp Sunshine

a role model for the children, as well as a beacon of
hope to the many families whose lives he would touch.
Sadly, 2005 would also be the same year Jason was diagnosed
with his final, recurring brain tumors, just two
weeks after volunteering at Camp Sunshine’s winter
sessions.
In the words of Jason’s cousin Adam, who is also
deeply entrenched in Camp Sunshine as a volunteer
and fundraiser, “Jason’s incredible striving for life, and
his desire to make the people around him happy is why
he is such an inspiration. Every obstacle in Jason’s
journey became a milestone, an occasion for further
triumph. He is a hero who blazes a trail and gives others
strength.”
Carol Chapman reflects, “Our entire family attributes
Jason’s strength, courage, and ability to cope to his
involvement with Camp Sunshine. We will forever be
grateful for all the sunshine Camp has brought to our
family.”
Today Carol and her husband Steve continue to volunteer.
Jason’s memory lives on at Camp Sunshine
through the establishment by his family and friends
of the “Jason Chapman Family Sponsorship Fund.” This
fund will allow one family to attend camp each year in
Jason’s honor, forever…
Camp Sunshine is grateful to Jason’s family, and to all
of those who continue to celebrate his life through the
support of the fund established in his memory. To that
end, Jason’s memory will live on.
“Our entire family
attributes Jason’s
strength, courage,
and ability to cope to
his involvement with
Camp Sunshine.
We will forever be
grateful for all the
sunshine Camp has
brought to our
family.”
