Care Camps Foundation announced Under The Stars: Where Hope Makes Light, a three-day fundraising and community-building event hosted by the inaugural Young Professionals Board.
When: Dec. 4-6
Where: Lazydays RV Resort in Tampa, Florida
Why: Designed to introduce a new generation of supporters to Care Camps Foundation and its mission, Under The Stars will bring together colleagues, business leaders, outdoor enthusiasts, Care Camps advocates, family and friends for a weekend of impact, connection and celebration.
The event will culminate in an ambitious world-record attempt: 45,000 glow sticks will be assembled into one continuous chain, representing the approximately 45,000 children Care Camps has helped through its mission. When completed, the chain of light is expected to span nearly 5.5 miles.

23 Million On The Road
As Americans look toward autumn getaways amid ongoing air travel headaches, economic pressures, rising costs and the desire to disconnect from technology, new research from the RVIA’s quarterly travel intentions survey shows the continued appeal of RV travel and the affordability, comfort and control it offers travelers.
The survey found that 23 million Americans are planning to take an RV trip this fall, reinforcing RVing’s appeal as a flexible and practical way to travel. More than 11 million Americans planned to take an RV trip over Labor Day, while more than 9.4 million Americans who do not currently own an RV plan to rent or borrow one this fall.
On Aug. 19, the RVIA Government Affairs team elevated the industry’s policy objectives at an RV Caucus event on Capitol Hill with 100-plus Hill staff in attendance. The event focused on building new connections and educating attendees on the RV sector’s legislative priorities, carrying momentum from this year’s Advocacy Day on:
- Reauthorization of the Legacy Restoration Fund — to secure necessary funds to continue modernizing and improving campgrounds and outdoor recreation infrastructure across the country.
- Passage of the No Tax on RV Loans legislation, which was introduced in May by Congressman Rudy Yakym and Congresswoman Dina Titus and would allow consumers to deduct up to $10,000 in interest.
