It was a magical night: the annual St. Christopher's Oncology Prom for kids facing serious medical issues. St. Chris and the Dunkin' Joy In Childhood Foundation hosted the Snow White-themed "Mirror Mirror" event, where prom-goers received the full experience of dinner, a DJ, dancing, a photo booth, crafts, games, gift bags, and more.

This event helps fill the gap for patients who may miss their prom due to health issues. It’s also an opportunity for their siblings and parents to celebrate with them. We are grateful to the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation for its support, and to all the volunteers who helped bring this wonderful event to life.

National Trauma Survivors Day honors the strength, determination, and resilience of children recovering from traumatic injuries and events, alongside their families and caregivers.

Yesterday, the Trauma Survivors Network Chapter at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children hosted a sidewalk fair for childhood trauma survivors and their families, featuring activities to celebrate resilience, share survivor stories, and connect with local community resources to support their healing journey.

The day aimed to foster hope, celebrate recovery, raise awareness, and provide the kids with a little fun, including the opportunity to plant a flower at a potting table to take home, in recognition of their healing journeys. 💙
