HopeKids provides ongoing events and activities and a powerful, unique community for families who have a child with cancer or some other life-threatening medical condition.

They surround these remarkable children and their families with the message that hope can be a powerful medicine.

Each week, HopeKids, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, holds three to five free, fun events for affected families. From live theater to private screenings of first-run movies and amusement parks to major sporting events, the kids and families can concentrate on fun rather than chemotherapy and other painful experiences.

Families can sign up online and look forward to the fun.

The group relies on donations to provide these special moments. It’s a great time of year to make a sick kid happy.
