What We Do
Our Cool Kids Campaign is dedicated to improving the quality of life for pediatric oncology patients and their families while they are going through the trauma of a cancer diagnosis and its treatments.
Cancer creates an instant crisis in a family. Fear and anxiety are the main emotions young people feel after learning of their illness and what they are about to face. Kids with cancer are still normal kids. We currently work with our Parent Advisory Committee to help guide us on what programs and services are most needed by the families.
- We are proud to be the publishers of the Cool Kids Connection. This one of a kind newspaper goes out to each hospital that treats childhood cancer. The paper is full of the information that the kids send us, about cancer, about being a kid, anything they want to read about.
- Care Packages sent directly to the kids at their homes. These care packages are filled with all kinds of fun items based on a wish list the kids download from this website. Requests range from toys, gift cards, music cards, restaurant cards and books.
- Cool Kids Grant A Wish — New program for 2010, if your family is granted this wish, your stay is in Orlando for up to 7 nights and up to 8 people.
It is our hope that the Cool Kids Campaign will be able to brighten the lives of these children who are otherwise dealing with pain and sadness on a daily basis. We are looking forward to working with these hospitals as we fine tune our programs and purpose.
