The Felix Organization operates in the field of philanthropic fundraising services focused on improving the lives of children in foster care. It runs Camp Felix in Kent, CT, offering week-long experiences and a range of activities such as sports, arts, drama, and wellness programs, with additional year-round support through initiatives like a Counselor in Training program and ongoing mentorship opportunities. The organization aims to expand access to these experiences, seeking to reach more children each year and provide continued guidance beyond the camp setting. Based in Locust Valley, New York, it was founded in 2006 by Darryl McDaniels and Sheila Jaffe, who are adoptees themselves and established the organization to give back to children who did not have the stability of a forever home. Recent developments include collaborations and new program launches, such as Camp Felix Pride, reflecting its ongoing efforts to broaden its reach within the foster care community.
