About us
HELPING CHILDREN WITH CANCER SMILE The Sunshine Kids is a non-profit organization dedicated to children with cancer. Established in 1982, we are committed to providing positive group activities and emotional support for young cancer patients. The Sunshine Kids provides a variety of programs and events, free of charge, for Kids who are receiving cancer treatments in hospitals across North America. OUR MISSION AND GOAL The Sunshine Kids Foundation adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing them with exciting, positive group activities, so they may once again do what kids are meant to do . . . have fun and celebrate life! We look forward to the day when The Sunshine Kids Foundation will no longer need to exist. Until that time, the entire Sunshine Kids family is dedicated to providing the most exciting activities, trips and events for as many young cancer patients as possible. THE SUNSHINE KIDS PIN The original yellow Sunshine Kids Pin was designed in 1982 so that the children would have a way of expressing their love to their friends. The sun was chosen as their symbol because of its positive life giving force, its bright hope for the future, and the warmth that good friends bestow upon each other. Each pin was hand pressed, painted, and baked by the children themselves. Throughout the years, as the demand for these special pins grew, the parents were enlisted to help keep up this tradition. Today the pins continue to be a symbol of love, life, and hope to each Sunshine Kid.

We are thrilled to share an inspiring story from the slopes of Beaver Creek, Colorado, as featured by Vail Daily News. Our remarkable Sunshine Kids, Jordan, and Anthony, have shown incredible resilience and determination as they conquered the mountain during our recent Winter Games ski trip. ⛷ Despite the challenges they face, Jordan and Anthony showcased unwavering spirit and courage, embodying the true essence of the Sunshine Kids. Their journey serves as a powerful reminder that with passion, perseverance, and support, anything is possible! A big thank you to Vail Daily News for highlighting their incredible story and helping to shine a light on the remarkable journeys of our Sunshine Kids. ☀ 🎗 #SunshineKids #Resilience #WinterGames2024 #BeaverCreek #Inspiration #SkiTrip #VailDailyNews ttps://https://lnkd.in/g2GVJZx7
