Steven Eisenstein was honored recently at the annual benefit for Aurora Day Camp, “Dare to Dream Atlanta.” Eisenstein received the Community Leadership Award from the organization, Georgia’s only free full-time summer day camp for children with cancer and their siblings.
Eisenstein has volunteered with the organization since 2018, when it began in Atlanta. He has served in several volunteer roles throughout the years, donating time and resources to the year-round program for children with cancer. Speaking to a jam-packed room, Eisenstein thanked the organization and spoke about the legacy of giving that he learned from his own parents, Susan and Bernie Eisenstein.

According to Greg Hill, the camp’s executive director, “Since the beginning, Steven Eisenstein has provided incredible support. He was one of the first people to support our program here in Atlanta, and his commitment has not wavered since day one. Every year, his company, Classic Tents and Events, donates and installs the tents, misting systems, recreational equipment and décor that we need — materials that we would not be able to provide otherwise.”

Hill added that Eisenstein has also sponsored dinners and carnivals for the kids, parents, and other caregivers at the camp, as well as participated in many of the special events, lending his “clowning skills” to the fun. Steven credits his father with not only teaching him about the importance of giving back, but also how to be a full-blown clown with juggling and unicycle-riding skills! From a young age, the two of them volunteered as clowns to lift the spirits of children. His parents also established the “Gigi the Clown Scholarship Fund” at Ajecomce, then the JCC day camp in Atlanta, to fund camp for children needing support.
