“We were the charity recipient of the winter beer fest, held at the Royal Oak Music Theater, this past January and couldn’t believe what a huge success it was,” said Molly Reeser, executive director of Camp Casey. “When we were given the opportunity to partner in a larger way for Summer Beer Fest, we jumped at the chance! We know this is going to become a can’t-miss staple on people’s summer schedule.”
Camp Casey, a 501c3 nonprofit organization founded in 2003, offers three unique programs to children with cancer and their families. Cowboy Camp Outs are overnight mini-vacations at dude ranches in Michigan; Horsey House Calls bring a horse to the doorstep of kids too ill to attend an overnight retreat; Outlaw Outings provide family-oriented activities, like attending professional sports games, without the expense or hassle of planning. All of Camp Casey’s programs are free for families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis.
