Sunrise Highlights
We are so grateful to all of our donors who make our mission possible.
Annual Night Run – Sunrise Israel

Sunrise Israel also had the largest number of runners ever — 1,733 — thanks to the participation of more than 70 companies and organizations supporting the children of Sunrise Israel.
The Greater Chesapeake Charitable Foundation Chooses Horizon Day Camp-Baltimore as a Holiday Toy Drive Recipient Again
Horizon Day Camp kicked-off the holiday season in style as one of the beneficiaries of Baltimore’s Stuff the Train Toy Drive & Holiday Dance Party, hosted by DJ Kopec. The event gained acclaim in 2020 as a virtual fundraiser that collected more than 29,000 toys for Baltimore area hospitals, schools, and children’s organizations. Hosted at the majestic B&O Railroad Museum, the event featured festive sights and sounds of the holiday season with children’s joy and jubilation, and toys, filling the museum!
Horizon Day Camp will distribute holiday boxes filled with gifts and goodies to all of its campers this holiday season thanks to the generosity of initiatives like “Stuff that Train” and donors who make this possible.
Special thanks goes to The Greater Chesapeake Charitable Foundation for selecting Horizon Day Camp as a “Stuff the Train” beneficiary.
