About this organization
Mission
The Periwinkle Foundation develops and provides programs that positively change the lives of children, young adults, and families who are challenged by cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and are cared for at Texas Children’s Hospital.
About
Since 1983, The Periwinkle Foundation has provided a week-long camp for children with cancer and blood disorders and their siblings. Periwinkle brought 190 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2018. Campers came from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Many would not have the means to attend a summer camp even if they were well. Periwinkle provides clothing, bedding and toiletries for any camper in need. Sad faces turned bright in a week packed with a month's worth of amazing experiences. With the help of more than 200 enthusiastic volunteers, cancer was forgotten, children realized they were not alone in their circumstances, siblings felt loved and parents had an entire week to address their own emotional healing.
