About Our Sponsor
The Family Campfire is proudly funded by the Ilene Beal Charitable Foundation, established in memory of Ilene Beal: a trailblazing New England banking executive, devoted mentor, and Wellesley College alumna who lived with cancer for nearly two decades before passing away in 2015.
Ilene was known for her warmth, her fierce loyalty to the people she loved, and her deep belief in lifting others up. The foundation carries forward that spirit by supporting organizations like Camp Casco that walk alongside families facing childhood cancer.
