The Ted and Jane Von Voigtlander Foundation will match every donation—up to $600,000! Double your impact and help more kids experience the magic of camp!
NORTH STAR REACH
North Star Reach offers children with serious health challenges a piece of childhood they might not otherwise experience—campfires and s’mores with new friends, paddling a canoe across the lake, catching fireflies at dusk, or shooting a bow and arrow for the first time. Our mission is to provide life-changing, barrier-free camp experiences—always free of charge—for children with serious health challenges and their families.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps in reaching our goals.
AND thanks to a generous gift from The Ted and Jane Von Voigtlander Foundation, your donation will be matched dollar for dollar up to $600,000!
Volunteers help North Star Reach stretch every dollar to make the greatest impact on our campers and, in return for the gift of time, find a place filled with community and belonging themselves.
North Star Reach is proud to announce its recognition as a 2025 Champion for Children by the LACASA Center’s Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Council and Great Start Livingston. The award was presented during the annual “Plant a Pinwheel” celebration at the Howell Carnegie District Library, marking the start of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
North Star Reach is thrilled to announce that The Ted and Jane Von Voigtlander Foundation has pledged a generous $600,000 matching grant to help the camp meet its mission of providing free transformative camp experiences for children with serious health challenges and their families. This incredible contribution will be matched dollar-for-dollar and will allow North Star Reach to expand its programming, enabling even more children to experience the magic of camp.
North Star Reach is excited to announce “Legends at the Box Office: Raising a Little Hell for Paul Newman’s 100th,” taking place on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at the Historic Howell Theater in downtown Howell.
