Play Programs for your Community

Project Sunshine partners with disease-specific nonprofits to provide age-appropriate activities and games to the communities they serve. Our programs are adaptive for children with various developmental and sensory needs. Partner nonprofits organize a regularly scheduled date and time for their constituents while Project Sunshine provides trained and engaging volunteers to facilitate virtual play sessions.
