HopeKids

Hopeday program - each month, we schedule a variety of sporting events, movies, theater shows, concerts, zoo, circus or other types of fun activities for the whole family. We continued to provide our new and exciting virtual events that were created as a result of covid and were able to continue to serve the families in their homes and their hospital beds. We strive to keep kids focused on the future, looking forward to the next fun event around the corner, rather than dwelling on what they are dealing with in the present. All of our events are focused on the whole family to prevent siblings from being unintentionally overlooked, bring families together who understand their journey, and are offered at no cost to families. - see schedule o.

Virtual program - in response to covid we created a new virtual program of events where we were able to bring an entirely new and creative program to the families in the safety of their homes and their hospital beds. We were able to easily connect families across all chapters like never before. As a result, we realized there is benefit to our families to continuing to provide virtual opportunities regardless of a pandemic. Our families are always isolated over winter due to their child's medical condition, or spending weeks and months in hospital or traveling across the country for specialized treatments. Through our virtual program we will always be able to bring hope to our families through fun and unique programming, no matter where their circumstances find them. - see schedule o.

Hopecommunity program - support, love, and encouragement are all necessary for families who have a child with cancer or some other life-threatening medical condition. Our hopecommunity program is designed to create events that foster an environment that allows for the formation of deeper friendships among our families. Smaller more intimate events than the hopeday program that encourage connections between parents and kids that have traveled or are currently traveling the same scary and unknown road. Our new virtual program allowed us to connect families like never before, especially across our chapters throughout the country. - see schedule o.
