ABC News in the Bay Area (you know, around San Francisco) recently produced this strong segment on Camp Arroyo, which hosts thousands of children with illnesses each summer. For free.
This particular news story, in which Cheryl Jennings focuses on a Camp Arroyo session for children with celiac disease, spotlights Dr. Doug Corley, YMCA chef Nicole Lucia, breadmaker Anna Sobaski of Breads from Anna, and camp co-founder Elaine Taylor, of the Taylor Family Foundation. She herself has been diagnosed with celiac disease. Also appearing are NFL veteran Rich Gannon and his daughter Danielle,
The Taylor Family Foundation is having its annual "Day in the Park" fundraiser at Camp Arroyo (in Livermore California) this Sunday, August 24, 2008. People involved in the event include Jennings and former women's soccer Olympian Brandi Chastain.
The camp's donation page is here.

PASSOVER TIPS
With Passover 2008 starting on the evening of April 19, I thought I'd share some tips.
As my longtime readers might remember, for a "matzoh ball" mix I'm a fan of Lieber's Knaidel Mix (right), which is made from potatoes.
Among the gluten-free products that are suitable for Passover are treats from Shabtai Gourmet, which include old-fashioned bakery sweets such as rainbow cookies. Shabtai, which markets its products at supermarkets and health food stores as well as Amazon and FreshDirect, has been reaching out for years to gluten-free people in the greater metropolitan area and beyond, including this blogger and Mike Eberhart of Gluten Free Blog. So far I've found that, with Shabtai, preferences are surprisingly varied (for instance, Mike and I both like the Meltaway Crumbs, but he and my mom seem to like the layer cakes more than I do, and I once had a very decadent almond pasty marble cakey treat that I'm having trouble identifying at this point), so I think you could do worse than sampling various Shabtai products and judging for yourself. (It's great to have choices, isn't it?)
For the DIY crowd, Gluten-Free Bay offers many Passover recipes. And Ellen Allard at I Am Gluten Free offers her own recipes including one for a matzo substitute using a mix from Breads from Anna. Here is Ellen's accompanying video.
