2017 ANNUAL REPORT

2 Sunshine Kids 2017 Annual Report

The Sunshine Kids Foundation

MissionThe Sunshine Kids Foundation adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing them with exciting, positive group activities, so they may once again do what Kids are meant to do...have fun and celebrate life!

GoalWe 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 providing the most exciting activities, trips and events for as many young cancer patients as possible.

“ I can never thank the Sunshine Kids Foundation enough for the opportunities you have given me. Y’all have truly made a bad situation into something so amazing and unforgettable. If it wasn’t for trips like these, I would have never met some amazing friends that can understand and relate to everything. Thank you so much.”Sunshine Kid – Houma, La

Sunshine Kids 2017 Annual Report 3

A Message from our Board Chairman

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to say thank you to all of our supporters, volunteers, staff and friends for their efforts on behalf of the Sunshine Kids Foundation. The generosity of this group allows thousands of Kids each year to participate in local, regional and national events that enable them to forget about their cancer for a while and enjoy fun activities throughout the nation.

This was a challenging fundraising year with Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma affecting our home office in Houston and our southeast regional office in Florida. Our staff did an amazing job navigating these challenges. Our donors continued to generously support us while also supporting relief efforts in the areas devastated by the storms.

Of course, a very big thank you goes out to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices who continue to support us on a national level.

This past year we hosted several national trips along with numerous regional and local events. Our national events included trips to Los Angeles, New Orleans, the Texas Hill Country, New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Orlando and Hawaii. Regional and local events were organized coast to coast and included sporting events, hospital parties, Disney events, rodeos and much more. We are also looking forward to the addition of our ski trip this Spring in Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Again, thank you to all of our supporters and volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds and organize such great activities so our Kids can once again, “do what Kids are meant to do…have fun and celebrate life.”

Sincerely,

Bret SandersChairman of the Board

Hello Sunshine Kids Family,

“ One of my favorite moments was hearing from the mother of one patient that she saw him smiling more that week (just from all the pictures!) than she had any time since his diagnosis two years ago. Since the trip, he has been happier, more engaged and increasingly independent… It is so valuable to be able to have an organization like the Sunshine Kids that helps support these kids and gives them these opportunities.”Nurse Practitioner – Washington, DC

I do not have the words to express how much my group benefited from our trip. They learned they are strong enough to fight cancer, fly through the Skycoaster at Schlitterbahn, tube down a river and ride a motorcycle. These are opportunities they never would have had otherwise. Thank you.”Social Worker—Hackensack, NJ


A Message from our Executive Director,

G.W. Bailey

G.W. and Sunshine Kid Marco Villegas, Jr.

The Sunshine Kids Foundation is profoundly grateful to the Kids and their families who participate in our activities and events. We are grateful as well to our donors who make these activities and events possible. And, of course, to everyone in the Sunshine Kids Family who helps put smiles on the faces of these wonderful Kids who are fighting cancer. However, despite your extraordinary love and support NO activity or event would be possible without the men and women who stand by these Kids every day in their battle. I speak of the heroes in the hospitals and clinics and those who attend various events who are always there to love, support and protect the Kids…their medical representatives. The following is an excerpt from a letter we received from one such caregiver who states succinctly and beautifully what it means to be such a champion.

Dear Sunshine Kids Foundation,

Hi, my name is Dustin Brown and I am a Registered Nurse at The Children’s

Hospital at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center. First of all, let me thank

you all for the amazing gift you give to these kids, which is giving them a chance to

be actual kids. My first Sunshine Kids Event was the 2016 Teen Chicago Getaway.

After the multitude of blessings received on this event, I knew that I was hooked!

And this was basically from day 1. The second time was recently as we embarked

on the 2017 Texas Hill Country Adventure. I thought that the Chicago event had an

effect on me but after the Texas Hill Country Adventure, I was truly changed.

My revelation came on the day we were being escorted to the capitol in the

classic cars by the police department. As I began to talk to my driver about what

I was feeling, I could feel myself becoming emotional and teary eyed. I knew

at this moment that all these kids were not thinking about their pain, disease,

chemotherapy, blood transfusions, their nausea, all the pills they have to take, the

central line sticking out of their chest, or even their CANCER. What an amazing

thing to witness the true and apparent joy in a child’s life when they are able to

be just a kid.

I have personally seen the kids that I represented in the most vulnerable and life

threatening situations. I was reminded of other patients I have had the privilege to

know and care for when I saw and met the other kids from other hospitals around

the Nation. I think that a lot of the kids, like mine, feel very nervous about events

like this because they are a little insecure and their body image is skewed, but

the power is having all these kids in a group like this where they all understand

each other and can relate. No kid seemed to ask, “what is that sticking out of your

chest,” “what’s wrong with your leg,” or “what’s wrong with your skin?” They all

just understood. The Sunshine Kids Foundation is such a blessing to all the kids

involved. I will never forget how beautiful it was and is to see kids fighting for just

one more day on this earth to be able to laugh, have fun and be kids again.

Thank You,

Dustin Brown, RN
