Give the gift of play


Each year in the United States, over 3 million children are hospitalized. 30% of chronically ill kids face academic disruption, missing key instruction and vital social interactions. Project Sunshine brings healing play to these children with medical needs, creating opportunities for much-needed mental stimulation, distraction, and creative fun.
