Checks, cash, and major credit cards are accepted. Sponsors include Crews Subaru of Charleston, CarWin Logistics, Zaxby’s and Adams Outdoor Advertising. 

Camp Happy Days, a nonprofit dedicated to providing support to South Carolina’s children diagnosed with cancer and their families, has moved to 933 Dupont Road in Charleston. 

The 4,500-square-foot facility will offer on-site programs like play and art therapy, yoga, team building exercises, overnight lock-ins, drop-in sessions with staff, pre-teen and teen clubs, movie nights and more. It will also provide year-round space for volunteer training, program planning and storage to strengthen its signature summer camp, held at Camp Bob Cooper in Summerton.
