Established in 1997, the Arts In Medicine program at TCH is an integral part of the Centers commitment to providing comprehensive care in a child-centered environment to meet the emotional, social, educational and medical needs of patients. Through partnerships with more than 20 local artists and arts organizations, PAIM is able to connect the community's vibrant arts scene with patients and their families who are enduring hours, if not days, weeks or months of a grueling hospital routine to provide daily opportunities for art experiences in the out-patient clinic, the in-patient unit and Bone Marrow Transplant unit at bedside. Through expanded partnerships, PAIM has begun programming at all four TCH Centers in the state of Texas: Houston Main Campus, Katy West Campus, The Woodlands Campus and the Vannie Cook Children's Cancer Clinic in McAllen.Some key components of the Periwinkle Arts In Medicine Program include:The Splendid Review A team of 3 professional writers from Writers in the Schools perform weekly workshops at all three Houston area TCH campuses (Main, The Woodlands and West) in the outpatient clinic as well as on the inpatient unit and the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit to help children and their families create short stories, poetry, autobiographies and illustrations. These works are published in a quarterly anthology titled The Splendid Review. In 2020, over 200 patients and siblings participated in this workshop, publishing 350 poems, short stories and autobiographies. Since inception, more than 2,500 pieces have been published in The Splendid Review.Stop Motion Animation Workshops Since 2014, The Periwinkle Foundation has teamed up with Aurora Picture Show to provide monthly Stop Motion Animation Workshops at Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers.Making A Mark - An exhibition of art and creative writing by children touched by cancer and blood disorders at TCH. Making A Mark is open to children from treatment centers all over the world. In 2020, more than 150 pieces of individual art and creative writing were exhibited at Texas Children's Hospital, which is the first stop on the exhibit's journey as it travels year-round to other venues including: TCH West (Katy); The Woodlands Children's Museum; The Glassell School; HEB, San Felipe; The Houstonian Club; McAllen International Airport; Houston Hobby Airport; and Intercontinental Airport where it is viewed by over 11 million people. In addition to individual submissions, Periwinkle partners with a local, professional artist to host a series of workshops with patients and families to create a collaborative, visual arts piece to be featured in the annual Making A Mark exhibit which has now displayed over 6,800 works of art since inception. The 2020 Featured Guest Artist was Sarah Fisher who worked with patients to create We See You, a collaborative piece that celebrates the wisdom and joy of children as well as the beauty and mystery of nature. Boredom is the unspoken side effect of cancer treatment. Each stroke of the paintbrush drifted me into a world full of colors and possibilities. a Making A Mark Artist.Postcards From The Road This program encourages visitors of the Making A Mark exhibit to send personal messages to the young artists. The postcards, mailed by The Periwinkle Foundation, allow children to see how their art is impacting others in the community. Each year, thousands of postcards are mailed to uplift and encourage the artists. Two viewers wrote: Your tree and message are beautiful. You are correct there is nothing we can't achieve if we do it together. Stay bright in the world. I am a singer/songwriter and have seen how powerful art can be in the world! Nice job! Today as I was passing through Hobby Airport and I needed a little inspiration. Well, I certainly got it. Your painting is beautiful and your life story inspired me to be more thankful."In the wake of the COVID-19, the following programs were developed to continue providing a Community of Healing to patients and their families in the most difficult of times.AIM (Arts In Medicine delivered through technology) virtually connects Periwinkle's professional Arts Partners directly to in-patient children at the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Center. Current Arts Partners conducting AIM programming include Purple Songs Can Fly, Writers in the Schools, and Houston Symphony Community Embedded Musicians.

In 2020, due to COVID-19 and for the protection of our campers and volunteers, Camp Periwinkle was replaced by a virtual camp, Simply Camp Periwinkle, engaging 190 campers across hundreds of homes and hospital beds through live and pre-recorded activities. For the first time, twenty in-patient children at Texas Children's Hospital participated virtually at Camp Periwinkle. Campers plugged in each morning to get the day started with fun energizers, and to join in cabin group conversation. Later, campers connected with staff and counselors via Zoom for activity sessions to complete together using the materials in their box, or items found in their home. Activities such as Minute To Win It (a game of 60 second challenges to accomplish silly tasks), science experiments, and Bingo were facilitated using items provided in the Camp Box, while other activities such as an at-home scavenger hunt, talent show, and build a fort activities engaged campers to explore their own surroundings, gifts, and talents to connect in the activity. 50275 Camp YOLO - In its 22nd year, Camp YOLO (You Only Live Once) addresses the unique challenges faced by adolescents living with cancer, renal, cardiac, rheumatology or HIV-related illnesses. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the spring YOLO session was cancelled. Because this camp was scheduled early in the onset of COVID-19, no virtual camp was provided. The fall Camp YOLO was held as a virtual camp over a weekend which engaged 59 teen campers. Teens plugged in each morning to get the day started with fun energizers, and to join in cabin group conversation. Later, campers connected with staff and counselors via Zoom for activity sessions to complete together using the materials in their box, or items found in their home. Activities such as Minute To Win It, Arts & Crafts and Bingo were facilitated using items provided in the Camp Box. 71228 834299 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 8 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 40 40 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X Stephanie Atwood 7138070191 3400 Bissonnet Ste 185 Houston TX 77005 Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 153500 0 15847 David Steinhart President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Cathy Connolly Imm Past Pres 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Otness Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Nell Suell MD Board Dev. 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Jo Cantu Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Franklin Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jenan Adham Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debbie Bauer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sean Beck Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Birkofer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marti Carr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rosemarie Cicalese Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Clutterbuck Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Connor Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Dice PT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ZoAnn Dreyer MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kelley Elliott Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jayne Finkowski-Rivera MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michelle Fritsch LMSW-ACP Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Gleason MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Justin Goodman Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Winnie Hart Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hubert Ho MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Huang MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Jarriel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Jarriel MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew L Koenig Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lara Lack Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lorrie Lee Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margarita Longoria Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley Mitchell Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Mogas Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Petrello Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Porea Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rayne Rouce MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Schuler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Slabic Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Smith Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Sperandio Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Chip Storey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 153500 15847 1 false true false 0 817629 865434 148580 1683063 0 42397 42397 0 0 0 1047 1052 -5 -5 -5 185657 817629 183651 2006 2006 0 0 0 1727461 44398 X 0 0 0 0 169347 84674 25401 59272 0 394634 281755 38112 74767 11146 7983 1070 2093 58141 39775 6049 12317 41248 26978 4601 9669 0 0 44185 44185 0 14090 14090 0 269806 214562 24622 30622 0 101137 37092 26367 37678 0 0 78824 48439 8197 22188 3504 1555 32 1917 0 0 0 0 4075 2649 448 978 19167 12459 2108 4600 Camp supplies 52911 52911 Camp rental expense 23467 23467 Event expenses 16842 16842 0 1302524 834299 181192 287033 564804 954121 204201 204862 32264 9899 0 0 0 0 0 10163 17755 39197 39197 4075 0 1034501 1159702 0 0 23000 23000 0 1873008 2369339 36783 20225 49748 6306 105700 86531 132231 X 1688380 2152209 98097 84899 1786477 2237108 1873008 2369339 424937 25694 X false true X true false X 1589120 1225832 2059765 1592720 1683063 8150500 0 0 1589120 1225832 2059765 1592720 1683063 8150500 601034 7549466 29830 38297 53798 34338 42397 198660 0 0 8349160 0.90420 0.91180 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20362 20362 18835 18835 Paycheck Protection Program Loan 105700 105700 1770654 25694 17499 43193 1727461 1727461 1320023 17499 17499 1302524 1302524 false Gala 516766 419990 96776 11490 9925 70659 Iron Sommelier 276242 194931 81311 869 26714 3500 41057 2 210278 202708 7570 8890 746 500 9301 1003286 817629 185657 9759 38950 13925 121017 183651 2006 X X X false false false false false false false false false Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 150000 3500 4500 11347 169347 X 1 49176 FMV X Auction items 159 93404 FMV X Raffle items 4 6000 FMV false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Long Term Survivor - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Periwinkle Long-Term Survivor Retreat was cancelled.
