Community Involvement

 

As our mission statement proudly states, we are all here to impact the lives of others, and Mitchell and Carolyn Beer do just that! The desire to put a smile on a kids face is what drives them to volunteer their time at a bereavement camp for children. The loss of a loved one can be detrimental to a child’s development, and Comfort Zone Camp was created to help rebuild the confidence and support they need to recover! Comfort Zone Camp is the nation’s largest bereavement camp and offers these children the opportunity to remember their loved ones in a safe and healing camp environment. Comfort Zone Camps create an environment where grieving children can have fun and break the isolation death often brings, while learning valuable coping skills for their daily lives.  Below is a picture of our Managing Partner, Mitchell Beer and children from Comfort Zone Camp.
