Camp Tomorrow Collection

On Saturday, February 13th, Violet & Blue teamed up with Buffalo Zach's Cafe to bring you the Camp Tomorrow Collection. This collection has been a work in progress and we are so excited that it's actually come to fruition.

Some 2 ½ years ago, with the help of three of the most prestigious New York hospitals, the proprietor of this unique café, Peter Swersey, decided to fulfill a dream of his by building the first Survivorship retreat and sanctuary for Cancer patients in this country, just outside of beautiful Roscoe, NY. It was the profound loss of three of his family members to the horrific disease of Cancer that drew him to this mission.

This very strong commitment of his had him spend over 1 ½ years in the planning stages to launch what will become known as “Camp Tomorrow”, A Place of Hope, Renewal and Healing; so Cancer survivors can remain cancer free for the remaining years of their lives.

The inception of Buffalo Zach’s Café in Roscoe will serve as a support and foundation for the funding of “Camp Tomorrow”. The opening for his retreat is scheduled in the near future and hopefully will be the beginning of many more cancer survival retreats in the country.

Violet & Blue is happy to announce that a portion of the proceeds from this very special collection will go to help "Camp Tomorrow". The response to the collection has been overwhelming since it's debut and we couldn't be more thrilled. More pieces are being created and will be available at Buffalo Zach's Cafe soon! If you would like more information about the "Camp Tomorrow" Collection and/or interested in making a purchase but don't live in the Roscoe, NY area, please email violetandblue@hotmail.com.
