The stuffed animal is named by the campers and becomes the camp mascot for the following year of programs. This year’s stuffed animal represents the courage and strength of campers at Camp One Step. President Jeff Infusino told guests: “In 45 years Camp One Step has served over 20,000 campers with a mission that has remained constant: to ensure that cancer does not prevent kids from experiencing the simple joys of childhood. Through our in-person camps and digital CONNECTED programs, we give kids the opportunity to run and play. We encourage them to take on the world and not let cancer define them.” Campers Lake and Talia performed their special handshake perfected at Camp One Step for Gala Guests Through year-round opportunities, children from birth to age 19 and their families meet, bond, and find a network of support, inclusion, accessibility, connections and empowerment. In 2023 more siblings and more parents, as well as campers, were able to participate in many more programs. There were 1700 campers in 2023, including 117 new campers reaping the rewards of being around others going through the same things they are. Board Chair Jon Leiman and his wife Kerry, Event Chair, sharing a toast Kerry Leiman, who first attended Camp One Step at the age of 10 and became a counselor, with her father serving on the Camp board and her mother teaching a baking mini-camp, served as Gala Chair.

All the kids there really understand one another. They have been around life and death, and in some cases, saw friends die. It truly is a home for children with cancer and Jeffrey developed a deep empathy there. He received 23 bonus years before he succumbed in 2001.” At Camp One Step, Jeffrey Schwebel was able to continue to pursue his love of sailing both as a camper and as a counselor.

It has given me countless opportunities, my best friends, and a second family,” he said. Event Host and former camper Ryan Sartori told the guests: “I have seen a lot of things that some people would say are impossible: amputees ski down double black diamonds in Park City, the shyest of kids blossom into the most social butterflies in just a matter of days, and campers absolutely shatter their fears. At camp, insecurities have no premise and disabilities have no power.” Following dinner, the live auction offered a golf stay and play at the Cliffs and dinner with Chef Rich Mancini who was featured on Hell’s Kitchen.

Leiman then reportedly floored it and crashed into the showroom. After exiting his vehicle, he allegedly continued looking for the keys to the M4 CS. Leiman couldn’t find them, so he left on foot and was eventually stopped by police. Authorities arrested him for grand theft auto and criminal mischief, and believe he caused around $60,000 in damage to the dealership. On the bright side, no one was injured and the building didn’t suffer any structural damage.

today the populations stand around 14,000 in Sumatra and 57,000 in Borneo The Orangutan Foundation focuses its work in two extensive conservation areas – Tangung Putting National Park and Lamandau Wildlife Reserve The areas cover over 2,000km2 (half a million acres) of prime orangutan habitat supporting close to 5,000 orangutans The Orangutan Foundation’s priority has always been habitat protection This is achieved through a network of guard posts situated in strategic locations to prevent people entering protected areas and engaging in illegal activities ensuring that crucial forest habitat remains standing forest which not only supports the most biodiverse ecosystem but also plays a vital role in mitigating climate change we run a soft release programme where orphaned orangutans are able to live in a natural forest environment whilst learning the skills required before being released back into the forest This plays a vital role in conservation by preparing the orangutans for an independent life in the wild and hopefully going on to reproduce and increase the wild orangutan population.” Habitat loss results in orangutans being stranded in fragments of forest habitat or found in villages or in plantations that require a rehabilitation programme if they are ever able to return to the wild and hopefully going on to reproduce and increase the wild orangutan population The first step in our soft release programme is to ensure that the orphaned orangutans can climb This is not something that needs to be taught as it is instinctive and orangutans as young as nine months have shown they are able to cling to the branches and climb they must be able to climb up to the canopy which reflects the period of time that a young orangutan would develop and perfect its skills under the guidance of its mother in the wild every day is different dealing with a variety of requests enquiries and all the wonderful interactions with our supporters I’m only a speed boat ride away from seeing all the wonderful work our team is doing there whether it’s meeting the guard post staff helping to plant out seedlings or spending a day with our vets none of this would be possible without the help of our committed supporters The Orangutan Foundation has been working for 34 years in conservation and will endeavour to do so for the next 34 years The hope for the future of orangutan conservation is seeing a generation of Indonesians involved in concerned about and engaged in the protection of our environment All encounters with orangutans are humbling for me I get an overwhelming feeling of awe when I see a huge male gracefully and silently moving through the forest It’s fitting that they have been given the name “person of the forest” and I am struck each time by just how much like them we are Forests and People – clearly expresses how important we think people are to conservation They are the stakeholders in everything we do All guard post staff are recruited from local villages local people are employed to collect seed and local women’s groups make ecobags for the reforestation programme The orangutan shares its forest home with people who rely on the forests for their livelihood and the priceless and essential ecological services it provides The Orangutan Foundation works closely with local partners to support educational and livelihood projects which promote sustainable forest use and greater local participation in forest management decisions To remember that conservation is as much about people as it is about wildlife Take a wider view on what is relevant in conservation today – it’s no longer just about field work and research but also about geography and we should all be playing our part to protect it By far the most important thing is planting more trees Also be aware of what you are putting in your shopping basket – as far as possible buy products that are sustainably sourced and produced By far my favourite thing is knowing that the Foundation is making difference Seeing the dedication and commitment of our wonderful team in Indonesia and the real difference that makes to our work on the ground the knowledge that the Foundation has inspired people both here and in Indonesia to pursue a future in conservation intelligent orangutan and it is amazing to know that there are people out there that are concerned with and want orangutans like TimTom to have a future By supporting Tim Tom, Born Free supporters are not only ensuring that Timtom is cared for whilst she learns the skills necessary for life in the wild but also that she is able to live safely in a protected habitat.

"Even though we are coping with major prices rises by manufacturers and suppliers energy and municipal taxes are rising and regulation is weighing we have not raised the prices of products in Israel for years." "We are attentive to what is happening with the public but that does not mean we can keep this level of prices that have become uneconomic forever." These responses have come the day after Osem-Nestle said that it would postpone its price rises until after Passover The company also owns Starkist through which it controls 40% of Israel's canned tuna retail market Leiman Schlussel imports brands including Hershey's Schestowitz CEO Yoni Schestowitz said that his company would "examine ways that it could ease mattrers for the public and examine activities in which we can offer our products at cheaper prices."
