Want to join us in making a difference? We're raising money to benefit the Perthes Kids Foundation and Camp Perthes USA 2025 (taking place near San Diego, CA, July 6-11), and ANY donation will help make an impact. This year we're hoping to take the kids to SeaWorld San Diego for a wonderful, educational, fun, and memorable experience!! Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us, the rare disease community, and the children & families that we serve.

It has been very difficult to raise funds for such a rare disease like Perthes, especially during challenging financial times and higher costs across the country. This has affected our charity in the most ominous way, with much fewer donations and less attendance and volunteer help. However, we continue to show our resilience and determination by raising whatever little bit we can for our small, but mighty, non-profit organization for Perthes!!

What does your donation do to help?

$10: pays for a child's camp lunch for a day

$30: pays for a child's special outdoor/educational activity

$50: pays for a child's gift bag full of prizes, games, and our official camp t-shirt

$100: pays for a child's field trip to an incredibly fun amusement park!

$250: pays for a child's food for the week

$500+: pays for a child's camp tuition for the whole week!

$700+: helps pay for Perthes advocacy, camp equipment, volunteer accommodations, arts & crafts, prizes & games, field trip transportation, administration/operations + Perthes research & education

Only 5 out of every 100,000 children are diagnoses with the pain of Perthes disease. The Perthes Kids Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit, was established to raise global awareness and provide support to children and families dealing with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, a degenerative hip bone disorder (a rare form of osteonecrosis), which makes it painful to walk, run, and play like most kids. We are here to advocate, educate, and motivate parents to connect and stay strong, adults to share and give back, and kids to just be kids, as they go through the physical and emotional challenges of Perthes disease. You are not alone, we understand your story, and are here to serve and inspire.

For more information about our cause or any of our unique camps around the world, you can visit our website at pertheskids.org. 100% of your donation goes directly to Perthes Kids Foundation (a tax write-off) to benefit kids battling Perthes disease and special programs to help encourage them to never give up and embrace who they are! Thank you for your support!

Kind regards,

Perthes Kids Foundation
