By Myra Richman...Camp Soaring Eagle held its 'Annual Affair' on Saturday, November 13, 2010, at the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.

Walking into the ballroom was like being on a playground.  Friends and supporters of the Sedona-based organization were kids again on the Midway, while playing games and winning prizes during the cocktail hour. Lots of action, lots of good food and the chance to meet the talented Jane Seymour, all added up to a fun-packed evening for everyone.

Camp Soaring Eagle's tag line: 'we PLAY; we LAUGH; we CARE' was evident all throughout the evening, especially while meeting some of the terrific kids who benefit from the programs.

An unbelievable array of live auction items brought in some serious dollars, which will be a big help in continuing the organization's good work.

During 2010, Camp Soaring Eagle will have provided camping experiences to over 350 children and families struggling with critical illnesses via three different program offerings:

  • Flying with Camp Soaring Eagle Travel Program
  • Family Retreats
  • Camper Weekends
Mission: To give kids with serious illnesses and their families a chance to discover the healing power of laughter and the sheer joy of play that sickness has too long denied them by providing camping experiences filled with excitement, challenge and fun in a medically safe setting – free of charge.

Vision: To be recognized and respected as the finest camping program in America for children with serious illnesses by creating an environment of magic and delight, wonder and discovery -
a world without limits that’s full of fellowship and friendship, learning and sharing, and pride and achievement.
