Our 2nd Annual Bay Area BlackDeaf Family ASL Day Camp is only 2 weeks away, and we need community support to make this beautiful vision fully possible. ✨🤎🖤

This camp was created intentionally by and for the BlackDeaf community, while welcoming all families who value ASL access, cultural affirmation, Deaf joy, and inclusive community care. Our goal is to create a space where Deaf, Hard of Hearing, hearing children, parents, and families can learn, play, connect, and celebrate together through ASL, storytelling, BlackDeaf history, art, movement, music, and community-building activities.

We are currently fundraising to help cover:

• BlackDeaf coach/staff stipends

• Breakfast & lunch for families

• Venue expenses

• Children’s activity supplies

• Rest/nap materials for little ones

• ASL-accessible camp resources/books

So far, community members have already donated, and I am deeply grateful. I am also personally covering many expenses because I truly believe our families deserve spaces like this. However, I cannot sustain this alone.

If this camp aligns with your values and vision for our community, please consider donating, sharing, sponsoring a child/family, or helping in any way you can. No amount is too small. Every contribution directly supports families and helps ensure this camp continues not only this year, but for years to come.

Even if you cannot donate financially, sharing this fundraiser is a HUGE help. Community has always carried this work, and I believe we can do it again together. You can also contribute by become a volunteer, connecting us with potential sponsor, donating snacks/water, or loaning table/chair/play equipment.

Thank you for believing in BlackDeaf-led community spaces, language access, and the power of our children and families.
