Schwartz Memorial Campership Fund

A profound love of art linked Sylvia and Solomon Schwartz and Siri Schwartz Mills-Beierlein; they truly enjoyed sharing their passion with younger generations. The Schwartz Family Campership Art Fund was created to combine their devotion to cultivating youth art appreciation with the other family passion: bringing life-changing experiences to children in a camp environment. With your contribution, we have been able to honor the memory of our beloved family members the best way we know how: by giving children the opportunity to have a camp experience and to enrich their skills in the arts.

The Brooklyn Cultural Adventures Program (BCAP) offers a summer camp experience designed to encourage art awareness in its campers. BCAP's range of activities across the Brooklyn Museum and Brooklyn Children's Museum perfectly suit the art-education goals of Sylvia, Sol, and Siri.

We are so proud to announce that this year's donations to the Schwartz Family Campership Art Fund were used to sponsor summer BCAP sessions for two deserving Brooklyn children whose families would not otherwise have the means to make the experience a viable option. This scholarship is especially fitting, we thought, because of the Schwartz family's Brooklyn roots.

Our family is comforted by knowing that the Schwartzes continue to give to children and to live on in the continuation of their passion. We cannot thank you enough for joining us in honoring them, and in becoming a benefactor of their good work.

The Schwartz Fund is managed by the American Camp Association. To make a donation, please use the ACA Gift/Contribution Form.
