A Partnership Grounded in a Long-Term Vision

At Campfire Circle, we offer unique opportunities to kids with life-limiting illnesses, all thanks to the generosity of our long-term partners, like Kinross Gold Corporation. Thanks to their 16 years of support, we’ve been able to provide camp programs to thousands of children and families across Ontario, helping them build friendships, resilience, and unforgettable memories.

Kinross’s long-standing support has played a critical role in the growth of our programs. As we’ve expanded to include more children from diverse illness groups beyond cancer, their commitment has grown right alongside us.

For Kinross, this partnership is a natural extension of their values. Their sustainability strategy aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, including a focus on good health and well-being. Through their investment, together, we’re helping ensure kids with cancer or serious illness take part in life-changing programs that support both their emotional and social health.

“At Kinross, one of our core principles is continuous improvement—learning and evolving as we go,” says Dinah Asare, Senior Director of Social Performance. “Campfire Circle reflects that same mindset. They’re always looking at how to do more and do it better—and the result is real, meaningful change in the lives of the kids they serve.”

Dominic Channer, Vice-President of Community Relations and Sustainability, agrees. “Every child deserves the chance to just be a kid. The experiences Campfire Circle creates are powerful—and it’s why we’ve remained committed supporters all these years.”

Kinross’s partnership extends beyond financial support. Whether it’s through their employee-driven fundraising or rallying a corporate team for the Sporting Life 10K, Kinross has found creative, community-building ways to champion the cause. Campfire Circle is grateful for their partnership and their commitment to investing in the potential of youth.
