company sponsored several educational
programs in the downriver community
as part of a business/school partnership.
He also started a plan to provide college
tuition assistance and other benefits to
employees.
"We have some employees who have
been with us for more than 30 years,"
Harry says proudly.
Sylvia admits that she and the rest
of the family thought the camp was
much too big an endeavor for her
husband to tackle. "We weren't 100
percent behind him at first, but Harry
persevered," she says.
First, Harry donated land from a
ranch he owns in Gold Creek,
Montana, east of Missoula. Then he
spearheaded a massive effort to raise
funds, both locally and nationwide, to
create the camp he envisioned for the
sick children who had touched his heart
during those hospital visits.
Today, Camp Mak-A-Dream offers
horseback riding, canoeing, archery,
hiking and many other recreational and
social opportunities for more than 200
children and young adults. The camp
facilities include a pool, an amphitheater
and an 11,000-square-foot lodge.
Five years ago, one week-long session
was offered. Now the camp season has
expanded to five weeks, including
sessions for young adults (ages 17-23)
with cancer and for siblings. Harry
spends the entire summer there.
In addition, the camp is used during
the off-season for conferences and
retreats for men, women and young
adults with cancer.
If Harry's family was less than
enthusiastic at first, they are behind him
all the way now. Sylvia spends two
weeks at camp each summer, teaching
weaving and art to the children.
Hadar's sons sit on the camp's
Michigan Board of Directors, along
with other cousins of the Granaders
and several members of the Detroit
professional and political communities.
