Camp Rising Sun

There's only two weeks left until the 2026 Tammy's Ride for Camp Rising Sun!

Join us for our 3rd Annual Tammy's Ride for Camp Rising Sun!
Donation to ride is only $20, and all registered riders will be eligible to win many great prizes, including a $100 gift card to Village Cycle Center! Registration starts at 9 AM, Kickstands up at 10 AM.

We'll be riding in memory of Lt. Tammy Prescott of Lowndes County, MS, who lost her own battle with cancer in 2019. Tammy served the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department and was a long-time volunteer and board member of Camp Rising Sun. Tammy's love and dedication to Camp Rising Sun and her community were unmatched.

Join us May 9th as we support CRS and celebrate Tammy's memory. T-shirts will be available for purchase at the event.

Your $20 registration donation will get you one entry into all giveaways at the event. Purchasing a t-shirt will get you another entry, and then every t-shirt purchased or additional $20 donated will earn another entry.

All donations and proceeds go to Camp Rising Sun, a week-long nonprofit summer camp for children in all stages of cancer treatment.

The ride will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes in total, including a stop at the DAV building in Columbus. Register today by scanning the QR code or visiting this link: https://pci.jotform.com/form/260597837020157?utm_id=97758_v0_s00_e0_tv4

We can't wait to see you there!

With heavy hearts, we share that our beloved Camp Rising Sun family has lost one of our own, Jackson Farrar.

Jackson has been part of the fabric of Camp Rising Sun since June 2006, first as a camper, then as a counselor-in-training, and later as a devoted volunteer. For nearly two decades, he brought joy, humor, compassion, and light to our camp community. Jackson embodied the spirit of Camp Rising Sun and showed us what courage, kindness, and resilience look like.

To so many campers, counselors, and families, Jackson was more than a friend. Jackson was a bright presence, a steady encourager, and a treasured part of countless summer memories.

His impact on this camp, and on all of us lucky enough to know him, cannot be measured. His legacy will live on in every laugh around the campfire, every friendship formed at camp, and every life he touched along the way.

We are holding Jackson's family and loved ones close to our hearts and ask our Camp Rising Sun community to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you, Jackson, for growing up with us, serving beside us, and showing us what it means to live with heart. You will always be part of Camp Rising Sun.

Forever in our camp family...
