Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times is a California-based charitable camp for children with cancer. The camp was established in 1982 by Pepper Edmiston, a Los Angeles woman whose oldest son, David, had leukemia. Edmiston couldn’t find a summer camp that would take a boy with cancer, so she started her own camp, one that would be free to young cancer patients from all over Southern California.[1] The charity drew financial and organizational support from numerous celebrities, with Dustin Hoffman and Michael Jackson playing prominent roles in its early growth.
