Photos courtesy of Amy Hansen With the help of Chelsea's Closet, children of all ages get a break from dealing with their serious illness and play dress-up. They also get to play games including cards, Sudoku and paddle ball and do activities including drawing and painting. Donations of new items are being collected through March 26 at several Camas locations.

A Camas High School student is leading a local campaign to collect donations to help an organization that works to brighten the days of children who are dealing with some of life’s most traumatic health crises.

CHS senior Samantha Hollinshead is organizing a costume, accessory, craft and game collection event to benefit the Chelsea Hicks Foundation and Chelsea’s Closet.
