2024 Scholarships!

Camperships for 2024 Camp Cedar Glen and College Scholarships for graduating seniors pursuing further education are now open! We’re hoping to fund a lot more camperships this year than in these last few post-pandemic years. So please share our foundation with anyone you know who is looking for support and interested in positive social change!

Site Crash

We lost the website for about a week, but were able to recover it as well as the campership and college scholarship submissions! We’re reaching out to all of those students in the next few days, so please stand by for the announcement and all of the new jokes to be added. Also, it appears […]

2023 Submission open!

Hi Everyone! The years have been busy, but the foundation is back open for giving! Please reach out to anyone you know who would be a good candidate for either a campership or college scholarship. Anything you can give to help propel this foundation towards greater giving is also so very gratefully accepted. Please see […]

Never Ending Covid Updates

I’ve waited to update anything here, once all this mess started happening, because there were plenty of communications coming from every possible source. I also didn’t have any solid answers to provide. The conference has consistently been saying that they will do what they can to keep camp open this summer and surely colleges will […]

2020 Camps!

With a new year come new camps. Registration opened on the first and we are excited for another year of scholarships. They usually come in closer to camp start dates (procrastination is real), but once they do, all of us on the Spencer Topham Foundation committee love reading the expressions of faith and the jokes. […]

2018 Camps and Looking Forward

In 2018, we gave out a little over $3,000 to students going to Camp Cedar Glen and one very deserving student heading off to college. Better than just the number, we were able to provide assistance to every single student that submitted a request. Their applications were heartwarming and touching. Supporting kids who are able […]

Great Fundraiser!

On Saturday, February 17, several dozen of us gathered at Helix Brewing Company to celebrate in Spencer’s memory and raise funds for camperships. The night was a blast, with the employees at the brewery saying it was the busiest they had ever seen it. The campaign leading up to the fundraiser began in early November […]

Giving Tuesday

We’ve managed to get everything in place just in time (semi-coincidentally) for Giving Tuesday! If supporting youth who see themselves working towards healthier and happier communities speaks to your heart, then please consider giving to the foundation. As the foundation is administered through Foothills UMC, all donations are tax-deductible. SPECIAL BONUS: Anyone who donates now […]

Launching the Foundation

An organizing committee made up of Spencer’s friends, family and mentors has gotten together to lay the framework of the Spencer Topham Foundation. We’re very excited for the opportunity to help students get to camp and are putting together materials for churches in the South District of the California Pacific Conference to use for promoting […]
