Mission Statement
Project Sunshine brings joy and play to children facing medical challenges. For 24 years, we have carried out our mission through volunteer-led programming. Project Sunshine partners with hospitals in all 50 states and 4 countries outside of the US (Canada, China, Israel, Kenya) to ensure that children have access to the play they need most, no matter their medical diagnosis.
About This Cause
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, play is one of the most effective methods of reducing stress in kids, allowing their bodies to heal. For children facing medical challenges, who encounter numerous stressful circumstances during their treatment and recovery, play and creative expression ease stress and anxiety and give them a sense of normalcy and self-control. Project Sunshine is the leading organization in our field of providing free access to programming that meets the developmental and socio-emotional needs of pediatric patients. Since March of 2020, we have re-imagined how to deliver human connection to children at an unprecedented scale and are setting the stage for a new model of healthcare volunteerism and philanthropy. Through increased delivery of our creative and therapeutic Activity Kits and our virtual TelePlay program, Project Sunshine is reaching sick children in new ways and in new places. And the more we learned about just how much and how long the mental health consequences of the pandemic may persist in millions of young people, who lived through it at such critical moments in their emotional and developmental lives, the more we understood what Project Sunshine’s role must be moving forward.
