About The Artist

Peter Mayer is a renowned singer, songwriter and guitarist who has shared the stage with the likes of James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Don Henly, Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, and countless others during his 35 years as guitarist for Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. Along the way, he has released 25 of his own albums, including five christmas albums.

In 1999, Peter and his brother Jim, who also served as Jimmy Buffett's long-time bass player, began work on their first Christmas album, “Stars and Promises.” They recorded their favorite traditional carols along with their own original Christmas songs that, over the years, have become favorites of their audiences across the country.

This year's peformance--titled Harmony--will be in two parts, featuring an intimate "unplugged" acoustic set alongside his usual spellbinding band, with a few special guests along the way. This is truly a Christmas show like no other.

Summer’s Ending, But The Fun Doesn’t Have To!

We’re heading to Shelburne Farm in Stow, MA - just 20 minutes from Boston - for apple picking, fresh cider donuts, and the best pressed cider around.

Jump into the fun with a classic hayride, bounce around in the Great Pumpkin bounce house, and see the farm animals. It's the perfect chance to hang with old friends and meet some new ones, all while soaking up the best of fall!

Who’s Eligible?

This program is best for childhood cancer families with patients, survivors, or siblings between the ages of 2-18.

We’re thrilled to be part of the 2025 Rodman Ride, and in addition to having a team in this year’s ride, we’ll also be helping out throughout the day!

We’d love your help cheering on our amazing bikers as they ride to support programs like ours. Sign up today to volunteer for a 2-hour time slot to make this year’s ride the best one yet.

Camp Casco volunteer Greg “Babs” Sowa is taking on an epic skiathon to benefit our programs!

He shares: “I’ll be skiing from first chair to last chair to raise funds for Camp Casco, an organization that I've personally been a volunteer camp counselor with for two years (and going into my third). I've seen first-hand how much of an impact camp can have on these kids who've been affected by childhood cancer and appreciate any support you can give - whether a per-run pledge or a flat amount - every little bit helps send a deserving kid to camp.

It costs about $2,000 to send one kid to camp for the week, so my goal is to raise enough money to support at least one camper this summer, but if you can help me raise enough for 2+ campers, that'd be phenomenal.”

Greg will be skiing on May 8th at Killington and anticipates a pace of one run every 15 minutes or so (faster if conditions allow!).

You can either pledge an amount per lap or donate a flat amount using the buttons below. If you'd like to pledge an amount per lap, you'll receive an invoice from Camp Casco in mid-May after the skiathon with your total!
