Projects
Cam's spirit continues in the hope and happiness provided to other families and children in his honor.
​
Cameron’s family will continue to collaborate with Lurie Children’s to help fund projects that will improve the quality of life of children and families during their hospital stays.
​
Below you will find current and future projects in Cameron's honor. All donations made through this site will go directly to these priority projects.
How to Donate
Virtual Blood Drive
Cameron courageously fought kidney disease, which required several blood transfusions, before his death in May 2022. Cameron’s smile and strength made a lasting impact on so many people during his life and his family wants to honor him by continuing to positively change lives in his memory.
​
The annual blood drive in Cameron's memory is throughout May. It is a "virtual blood drive" meaning you can donate at any Vitalant location during the month of May.
Multi-Sensory Room
at Lurie Children's Hospital
Cameron’s family and Lurie Children’s hospital have collaborated to create a space that can provide patients with various forms of sensory input based on their individualized needs. The space will promote sensory regulation and stimulation.
This multi-sensory room will be extremely beneficial to long term patients like Cameron by providing developmental experiences not achieved otherwise during hospitalization. Children will also be able to participate in physical, occupational and speech therapy in the multi-sensory room.

Construction Starting Soon!
The funds needed to create the sensory room have been obtained! Construction of the space will begin soon.
Interactive Entry Screen
at Lurie Children's Hospital
Every day, Cameron and his mom would go for a walk around the 20th floor to get him out of his room for a little bit. His favorite part would be to go to the interactive screen at the entryway. He would interact with butterflies, and would smile and giggle when one would land on his shoulder. They would also make shadow puppets and pretend they were bunnies running through the forest.
​
Through generous donations in remembrance of Cameron, the screen has been updated (pictured) and now other children can get the enjoyment out of the space, like Cameron did.
