MISSION STATEMENT:
The Sunshine Kids Foundation provides exciting, positive group activities and opportunities for children with cancer so they may once again do what Kids are meant to do… have fun and celebrate life.
GOAL:
We look forward to the day when The Sunshine Kids Foundation will no longer need to exist. Until that time, the entire Sunshine Kids family is dedicated to our goal of providing the most exciting activities, trips and opportunities for as many young cancer patients as possible.
THE SUNSHINE KIDS PIN:
The original yellow Sunshine Kids Pin was designed in 1982 so that the children would have a way of expressing their love to their friends. The sun was chosen as their symbol because of its positive life giving force, its bright hope for the future, and the warmth that good friends bestow upon each other. Each pin was hand pressed, painted, and baked by the children themselves.
Throughout the years, as the demand for these special pins grew, the parents were enlisted to help keep up this tradition. Today the pins continue to be a symbol of love, life, and hope to each Sunshine Kid.
