Foundation’s Gift and Support From Others Will Endow 20 Family Sponsorship Funds in Perpetuity at the Nation’s Only Retreat for Sick Children and Their Families
CASCO, Maine — Dec. 15, 2010 — Camp Sunshine today announced it has met the $250,000 Matching Challenge issued by the John T. Gorman Foundation. In December 2009, the John T. Gorman Foundation vowed to match 2010 gifts exceeding $25,000, up to $250,000. With just one month left to reach the goal, Jack’s Magic Bean Fund, founded by the Ramsdens, a Camp Sunshine bereavement family, committed its second gift of $50,000 this year, to meet the final milestone.
The John T.Gorman Foundation was founded by the late John T. (“Tom”) Gorman, of Yarmouth, Maine, in 1995, and its mission is to improve the lives of Maine residents through grants in five core focus areas, one of which is improving care for those suffering from cancer.
