SUNRISE NATIONAL EXPANSION PLAN
Join Us In Bringing the Joy of Childhood to Children With Cancer and Their Siblings Across the United States
Since opening our first summer camp in 2006, Sunrise Association has provided countless smiles, giggles, friendships, and moments of joy to children with cancer and to their siblings. Today, Sunrise Association operates 11 Summer Day Camps around the world, provides in-person and virtual programming in over 50 of the nation’s leading hospitals, and impacts over 12,000 children each year.
Sunrise Association’s bold expansion plan will add 10 Sunrise Day Camps across the country and more than triple the number of children served across the United States.
Over 125,000 children are suffering from cancer every year.
Help us bring the magic of Sunrise to them and their siblings.*

– Sunrise Parent
