Parents Night Out (PNO) this year was the most successful ever! The kids had a terrific time and all the volunteers were wonderful. We had so many kids show up that we ended up giving all the pillow pets and presents away. Colleen Burnham, Founder, thinks this was the first time we did not have boxes of pizza left over also. Any cookies that were left over we sent up to the 4th floor for the nurses working hard up there. Santa and instant color photos were a big hit. Visit our Photo Gallery and enjoy this special evening while the parents shopped leaving their kids in our care!

Our mission is..

To offer Hope, Caring and Support for Kids and Families living with Childhood Cancer.

Garrett's KidStrong is the dream of a brave little boy with cancer. Garrett's only wish while on treatment was to be able to play and to have fun and to just be a kid again. Garrett and his mother began talking about a program to help kids with cancer have fun again. A group of families who have also had childhood cancer experiences joined together with Garrett's mother and with the support of founder and executive director of Youth InterACTIVE, Garrett's KidStrong Program was created. Sadly, in the early hours of Feb 1, 2005, at the young, innocent age of 9, Garrett lost his long, hard fought battle with cancer before he could see his dream come true.

Garrett's KidStrong program provides a very important, yet sadly often overlooked, informal support system for the whole family living with Childhood Cancer. We offer hope and encouragement by creating opportunities for survivors to meet and talk with other survivors in a relaxed and comfortable environment. We are childhood cancer survivors who share our stories and our valuable resources to help other families gain the knowledge and the power which are essential in a strong fight against cancer.
