Eddie Bobbitt hasn't added a story.
I started as a companion with Camp Quality Indiana by "accident". I was fresh out of high school in the summer before my freshman year at UofL. I worked at a school supply store and helped a lady find some supplies. She left our store only to return to ask me a couple questions:
Her: "You seem like you would be good with kids. Do you have any experience?"
Me: "Um, no? I'm 18 so I'm like a kid myself."
Her: "Well we are Camp Quality and our mission is to let kids with cancer be kids again."
Just like that, I was in. We are all connected to this disease and I lost my mother when I was 10 years old. At 18, I didn't think about kids going through "that". The crazy thing is that lady NEVER came back to the store. To this day, I have no idea who this lady is/was and she changed my life. Even at my first camp, nobody could tell me who I spoke with that day in the store.
Since then I was a companion until 2013, Director of Development until 2014, then co-Director, and in 2016 became Executive Director.
It's an honor to be a small part of the CQ family. We are still trying to come back from the impact of the pandemic and this fundraiser could really help us achieve our goals of helping more families impacted by pediatric cancer.
Any support would be greatly appreciated!!

ABOUT the Camp Quality Kentuckiana:
Camp Quality Kentuckiana is not in the business of finding a cure for cancer, but we are in the business of ensuring that every child who has been diagnosed with cancer can not only have a summer camp experience, but year-round programs to enhance their quality of life and encourage quality family time. At no cost, we provide these opportunities to children from Kentucky and southern Indiana who have cancer. The kids we serve, range between 5-17 years of age and are in various stages of their treatment. Outside of our week-long summer camp, we also provide different events throughout the year. The mission of Camp Quality is to allow children with cancer, under close supervision, exposure to the many activities that healthy children enjoy on a normal basis. Our camp and year round activities, allows families of the children to have some time away from the normal stress and demands of caring for a child dealing with cancer.
