Lee Klein, a founding force behind Camp Fiesta, helped launch South Florida’s first and largest camp for children with cancer in 1985, created for the Children’s Cancer Caring Center together with Shirly Miller and Erma Podvin. Driven by a shared vision to support children facing cancer and their families through high-stress, often painful treatment journeys, Lee devoted decades to what she lovingly called “her kids.” She believed that until there is a cure, giving quality life, love, and hope is essential. The Camp Fiesta family continues to honor the memories, dreams, and compassionate mission she helped establish, serving children from hospitals across South Florida and beyond.
