Volunteer Spotlight: Fargo
Volunteer Spotlight: Fargo
Fargo, a long-time volunteer, first heard about Camp UKANDU from her colleague, and UKANDU volunteer, Chipper. Fargo was encouraged to come and experience the "outrageous fun" of this week-long Summer camp in 2000 and hasn't stopped coming back!
"I said "sure, sounds like fun" without knowing just how life-changing of an experience it would be," said Fargo.
Since then, Fargo has been an invaluable member of our UKANDU volunteer team. From Camp UKANDU to Virtual Camp, fundraising events, and everything in between, you can always count on Fargo to be there!
Fargo has been volunteering long enough to watch campers turn into volunteers. "It creates a special connection," she says, "when you go through difficult life experiences together, such as people dealing with cancer. You make a strong “family” bond. Crying together, mourning together but most importantly laughing and living life to its fullest. It creates a perspective on life you would not get anywhere else but at UKANDU."
