Camp Kesem is a college student run summer camp for children whose parents have (or have had) cancer. Our mission is two-fold: - To provide kids whose parents have or have had cancer with a summer camp experience that gives them a chance to be kids - To allow college students to channel their passion for making a difference, while developing critical leadership skills for long term social impact Camp Kesem recognizes and embraces the often overlooked population of children affected by a parent’s cancer. More than 3 million children have a parent with cancer, or have lost a parent to cancer. Camp Kesem is the only national organization dedicated to serving the unique needs of this often overlooked population – and we are committed to expanding our services to support every child in need. Founded in 2000 by a group of Stanford students, the organization has grown to 54 chapters nation-wide, supporting more than 3,000 children yearly. Camp Kesem summer camps are run by volunteer college students who learn and put into practice important professional skills through Camp Kesem's Leadership Development program.

Co-founder / Label Owner

2011

Founded in 2012, New York City based You Are Hear (YAH!) represents the new international sounds crossing the Triboro every weekend. From the downtown clubs to the Brooklyn warehouses, it’s all here. Where the history of Paradise Garage, New Jersey and Body and Soul meet Minimal, New Disco, Techno, and Renegade sound systems, it’s a beautiful thing. The world is one mindful sphere now. In less than a day, you can be anywhere in the world. That trip we used to save up for is now 50 quid on Easyjet. Advances in tools have turned million dollar studios into a set of plug-ins. Distribution is one click, all over the world. What an incredible time to be an electronic musician – as long as the music is good. New York is a rising sound of energy, noise, and ever shifting parties that blend into countless nights and spaces. Flash forward and you can still feel the reverb of Limelight, Mudd Club, Twilo, and Studio 54 among the new glass towers that many feel have ended this area’s most creative days. We feel the best is just beginning. You Are Hear is a labor of love created three producers from San Francisco, Seoul, and Reykjavik collectively who moved to and met in New York City. James Healy produces/DJs under the name Escape Art and is the founder of labels Air Texture and the Agriculture. Pete Sung has released music on Dessous and Urban Torque. Holmar Filipsson started the infamous Crack&Speed label with Jef K and produced music there as Mr. Negative and The Spencer Filipsson Experience with Sasse & Olivier Spencer of Still Going fame. Then he teamed up with Greg Oreck to form Thugfucker and eventually the artist collaboration Life and Death with Tale of Us and DJ Tennis. http://www.yahnyc.com
