Commerce Bank donates 1/2 of one percent of the average balance on all checking accounts, and 1/4 of one percent of the average balance of all savings, money market and retirement accounts, as well as certificates of deposit, to the customers' organization (CCFA).

Camp Oasis CCFA Camps Across America
CCFA Camp Oasis is a collaborative project among five CCFA east coast chapters, including the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley Chapter. In this, our eighth year, we will be returning to Camp Nock-A-Mixon in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in August for 5 days. There will be pediatric gastroenterologists and a nursing team on staff 24 hours a day for the entire duration of camp, and a full complement of experienced CCFA staff members and young adults with IBD who will serve as camp counselors. CCFA's summer camp is a safe place for kids (ages 9-17) with IBD to learn about their strengths and to realize they are not alone in struggling with a chronic illness. They will make new friends and will have experiences that will propel them positively forward for the rest of their lives.
