Our mother, Jane Gail Giles passed away on September 11, 2021. She was 71 years old. As a life long educator, she understood how important it is for young people to have positive experiences. Camp Vacamas, run by Hands in 4 Youth, provided her with that experience and gave her life long memories. It meant the world to her to be able to leave the city for a couple of weeks each summer. She loved it so much that she sent us there as well and continued to give to the camp once we were long past camp going age. 

We are looking to continue to pay it forward with this campaign in honor of our mother. Please join us in our support of Hands in 4 Youth.

“V-A-C-A-M-A-S, Vacamas, that’s us!”
