Lucas Legacy Funds

Donate in Lucas’ Memory

Camp del Corazon is a summer camp experience on Catalina Island for children ages 7-17 who are living with heart and/or lung disease.

Camp was Lucas' favorite place.

Thanks to numerous donations generously made in his honor, 5-6 campers will be able to attend at NO COST every year for the next decade!

Lucas’ parents, Marina and Steve, are specifically trying to reach parents and kiddos impacted by pulmonary hypertension to connect them with this amazing place.

Please share this page with any pediatric PHer and their family who might wish to attend. Be sure to note Lucas Van Wormer in the application!

If you are so inclined, please consider a donation to Camp del Corazon’s Lucas Van Wormer Legacy Fund or any of the other causes listed below.
