DONATIONS IN MEMORY OF GENNIFER ROBINSON
Gennifer Robinson served as a counselor with our Leaders in Training (16 & 17-year-olds) at camp from 2019-2021. The passion she had in her work first as a HIV/AIDS case manager at the Harriet Lane Clinic at Johns Hopkins working with adolescents and young adults, and more recently as the HIV/AIDS Program Supervisor at the Bartlett Center, is hard to capture in words. Her sudden death this past August left all of us reeling with disbelief. She was FUN, energetic, brutally honest, compassionate, vibrant and lived life to the fullest. We honored her spirit at camp this past summer and invited her family to attend the Wish Log Ceremony to receive her Bundle which is full of photos and messages from the campers and volunteers. To honor her legacy, we have established the Phoenyx College Scholarship for college bound Leaders in Training.
