CRVA Celebrates 50 Years with Charitable Initiative Supporting Children with Cancer

The Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association (CRVA) is turning its 50th anniversary into a beacon of hope for children fighting cancer. In a remarkable show of solidarity and generosity, CRVA has teamed up with Care Camps, a charity dedicated to providing outdoor camp experiences for children with cancer. This partnership underscores the RV industry's longstanding tradition of community support and philanthropy.

At the heart of this initiative is a 2025 25' Citation Reward Travel Trailer, generously donated by General Coach Canada, a CRVA member. This RV, adorned with a custom design and equipped with a QR code for donations, is set to tour the country, raising funds exclusively for Care Camps. The campaign kicks off at the Toronto Spring Camping and RV Show in February 2025, where the RV will make its debut before embarking on a nationwide journey to various events and festivals.

Roger Faulkner, President of General Coach Canada, and Shane Devenish, CRVA's President, both highlighted the significance of this initiative, not only as a celebration of CRVA's 50 years of industry leadership but also as a testament to the organization's commitment to making a difference. Gwynn Sullivan, Executive Director of Care Camps Foundation, expressed deep appreciation for the opportunity to bring joy and adventure to children facing the challenges of cancer.

Beyond the charitable campaign, CRVA's anniversary celebrations include the introduction of a special 50th-anniversary logo, historical retrospectives, and advocacy campaigns, all aimed at honoring the past while looking forward to the future. This initiative not only celebrates the achievements of the RV industry but also highlights the profound impact that charitable giving and community support can have on those in need.

As CRVA looks ahead to the next 50 years, its partnership with Care Camps serves as a powerful reminder of the industry's role in fostering community, promoting the RV lifestyle, and contributing to meaningful causes. This story is a testament to how industries can leverage their milestones to support charitable endeavors, making a lasting impact on society.
