The Moyer Foundation was founded by World Series champion pitcher, Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. The Foundation’s mission is to empower children in distress by providing education and support – helping them to live healthy and inspired lives. With the community’s support, the Foundation created and funds programs to give children the tools and skills to overcome life’s greatest challenges. In addition to supporting organizations through grants, The Moyer Foundation created and funds Camp Mariposa, first-of-its-kind camp for children living with addiction in their families, and Camp Erin, the largest national network of bereavement camps for children and teens. Camp Erin is a free camp designed for children ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of a parent, friend or loved one. It is a weekend-long experience filled with traditional, fun, camp activities combined with grief education and emotional support -- facilitated by grief professionals and trained volunteers. There are currently more than 40 camp locations in over 25 states and one in Canada. In 2011, The Moyer Foundation proudly partnered with the United Service Organizations (USO) and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) to bring the first ever Camp Erin/TAPS grief camps designed specifically for children grieving the loss of their parent or sibling who served in the Armed Forces.
