More than 500 guests gathered at Camp Korey this fall for Grow, an annual fundraising event that this year brought in $1.6 million Camp Korey. Held at the historic Carnation Farm, Grow included food and wine pairings, an auction and camper Stage Night, experiencing just a hint of the magic that 4,655 campers and families enjoy all year round.

The event was hosted by KOMO weather anchor Steve Pool and retired news anchor Dan Lewis, a Camp Korey board member.

“Since I retired from KOMO 4 News I’ve had time to get more involved with Camp Korey and to see the multitude of magical moments that happen at this amazing place,” said Lewis.

Camp Korey is the only SeriousFun Camp in the Pacific Northwest, hosting life changing programs throughout the year for children living with serious medical conditions.

“Our programs are designed to be accessible for all,” said Executive Director, Hillary Carey. “At camp kids are kids first and foremost, and their medical conditions take a back seat to all the adventures and fun they are going to have. We work to build their sense of self, fill up their reservoir of courage, and challenge their perceived boundaries.”
