ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The Jeffrey A. Schwebel Memorial Foundation solely benefits the One Step At A Time Camp. This extraordinary camp is for children, ages 7-19, who are battling cancer or leukemia. Our non-profit foundation was started nine years ago in memory of Jeff Schwebel, who was a childhood cancer survivor and former One Step camper and counselor. This camp greatly enhanced Jeff’s life and continues to enhance the lives of the children who attend it.

To give you a little background information, The One Step Camp was founded in 1978. It is held annually every July for two weeks at the George Williams Campus in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The philosophy of this summer camp is to provide a normal childhood experience to children undergoing treatment, as well as those whose treatment has ended. The first year of the camp, 40 children attended. Now the camp hosts over 275 children in multiple program formats. The remarkable thing about this camp is it is run solely by volunteers and entirely supported by private founding.

The Jeffrey A. Schwebel Memorial Foundation has grown into the largest third party donor to the One Step Camp. Our sole fundraising event is our annual golf outing, The Player Invitational. Since 2001, the proceeds from this single annual event have allowed us to donate over $194,000 to the One Step Camp.

Our mission is to create the “best little golf event” in Southeastern Wisconsin, while raising money, and creating awareness for a great cause. We donate every penny we raise, after event expenses, to the One Step Camp. Unlike many charitable organizations, we operate with zero overhead and zero administration costs and just like the One Step Camp, our Board, Event Committee, and Staff are completely volunteer-based.
