Central Ohio Chapter

We provide hope, happiness, and healing to families in Central Ohio that are raising a child with a life-threatening condition.

We do this through Adventures hosted at kid-desired destinations throughout the year. These cost-free, care-free events cater to the entire family, giving everyone a much-needed respite from the pressures of coping with the child’s condition.

It’s what makes what we do unique: a focus on the whole family so they can all feel like a kid again. We’d like you to be a part – as an enrolled family, volunteer, or supporter.
