Victory Junction Receives Two Grants Supporting Hospital and Clinic Outreach Program

RANDLEMAN, N.C. (Apr. 11, 2025) – Victory Junction has received generous grants from the Tom Davis Fund and the Lisa Petty Luck and Charles S. Luck, IV Fund to support its hospital and clinic-based outREACH program. The grants will allow Victory Junction to continue providing impactful, year-round outREACH programming at no cost to children and families. The amounts of these contributions are confidential, per the donors’ requests.

Victory Junction’s outREACH program serves more than 11,000 children annually in 25 hospitals and clinics throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, offering fun, therapeutic experiences to children who may not be able to attend the camp’s traditional onsite programming. The Tom Davis Fund grant will support outREACH programs in North Carolina, and the Lisa Petty Luck and Charles S. Luck, IV Fund will support program expansion in Virginia.

“We are incredibly grateful to the Tom Davis Fund and the Luck family for their commitment to our mission and the children we serve,” said Jonathan Lemmon, Chief Operations Officer, Victory Junction. “These generous contributions help us to continue offering programs that uplift spirits, build confidence, and create joyful memories for thousands of children and their families.”

Victory Junction’s grant acceptance letter from the Tom Davis Fund states, “Mr. Davis was in the hospital often as a young boy fighting asthma. One of the mission statements of this Fund targets youth opportunities and medical research and care. The Fund Directors voted unanimously to support this program, believing both in Victory Junction purpose and the children who will be served this year via the outREACH opportunities who are being hospitalized.”

Lisa and Charlie Luck, of VA, are longtime supporters of Victory Junction and are excited to support the profound impact of the organization’s hospital and clinic-based programming. A recent evidence-based study conducted by the SeriousFun Children’s Network, reports participants of hospital-based programming demonstrate improved friendship skills, increased empathy and compassion, higher willingness to try new activities, greater responsibility, clearer career orientation, and better overall health-related quality of life compared to non-participants.
