Actor and comedian Ken Jeong has been named the first-ever celebrity ambassador for the Sunrise Association, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free summer camp experiences and year-round programs for children with cancer and their siblings. Known for his roles in The Hangover and Community, Jeong is using his platform to bring awareness and support to families facing pediatric cancer.
The Sunrise Association operates summer camps and in-hospital programs, offering children battling cancer a chance to experience the joys of childhood despite their medical challenges. As an ambassador, Jeong will actively engage with the organization, advocating for its mission, attending events, and using his voice to promote the importance of emotional and social support for these children.
Jeong, who was once a physician before his career in entertainment, has always been passionate about health-related causes. His involvement with the Sunrise Association aligns with his longstanding commitment to giving back to those in need. “Bringing joy and laughter to children who are fighting such tough battles is incredibly important to me,” Jeong shared. “Every child deserves a chance to just be a kid, and I’m honored to support an organization that makes that possible.”
The Sunrise Association’s camps provide a cost-free escape for children and their families, offering traditional camp activities, emotional support, and a sense of community. Jeong’s partnership is expected to help expand awareness and funding for these crucial programs, ensuring that even more children affected by cancer can experience the magic of summer camp.
