Periwinkle brought 189 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2019. 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. 357130 The mission of the Periwinkle Arts In Medicine (PAIM) program at Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers (TXCH) is to provide enjoyable and educational art activities that give children, young adults, families and caregivers affected by pediatric cancer and blood disorders the opportunity for self-expression, empowerment and healing through the arts. Established in 1997, the Arts In Medicine program at TXCH 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 TXCH 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 TXCH 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 2019, over 300 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.Periwinkle Days - Each month, The Periwinkle Foundation hosts Periwinkle Days, partnering with performing artists through Young Audiences of Houston to engage children and their families in the clinic through artistic performances. In 2019, over 400 patients and their siblings participated in Periwinkle Days.Stop Motion Animation Workshops Since 2014, The Periwinkle Foundation has teamed up with Aurora Picture Show to provide monthly Stop Motion Animation Workshop 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 TXCH Centers Centers. Making A Mark is open to children from treatment centers all over the world. In 2019, more than 300 pieces of individual art and creative writing were exhibited at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH), 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 2019 Featured Guest Artist was Claire Drennan. 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 cant 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. 191057 In its 21st year, Camp YOLO (You Only Live Once) addresses the unique challenges faced by adolescents living with cancer, renal, cardiac, rheumatology or HIV-related illnesses. While most teens are worrying about how many text messages they can send, teens with serious illnesses are confronting very real life and death issues and seemingly unending hospital routines. For two weekends each year, these young people have a chance to rejuvenate with others who understand their struggles, anxieties and fears. Campers learn teamwork and leadership skills and by the end of a fun packed and emotion filled weekend, they leave knowing they are not alone and they have what it takes to keep fighting their illness. Over 272 campers attended the April/September camp sessions, along with approximately 60 dedicated volunteers, each session. 145905 1126873 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 12 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 38 38 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 155000 0 15592 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 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 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 Mike Jackson 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 Margarita Longoria Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy McCarthy 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 Rick Sperandio Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Chip Storey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JC Woods Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 155000 15592 1 false true false Camp for All 3701 Kirby Dr Suite 570 Houston TX 77098 Camp facilities 222603 2 659127 933593 57494 1592720 0 34338 34338 0 0 0 5080 5042 38 38 38 167667 659127 160832 6835 6835 0 0 0 1633931 41211 X 0 0 0 0 170592 85296 25589 59707 0 368680 257655 39592 71433 8953 6386 934 1633 56657 37787 6471 12399 39034 24982 4684 9368 0 0 46995 46995 0 18188 18188 0 278975 215804 23955 39216 0 107502 36323 34431 36748 0 0 74944 46139 8651 20154 33432 32231 305 896 0 0 0 0 4071 2605 489 977 24026 15377 2883 5766 Camp rental expense 226192 226192 Camp supplies 140096 140096 Event expenses 28186 28186 0 1626523 1126873 194979 304671 508315 564804 202651 204201 94482 32264 0 0 0 0 0 3885 10163 39197 35122 8146 4075 926228 1034501 0 0 23000 23000 0 1766707 1873008 45481 36783 12486 49748 57967 86531 X 1525257 1688380 183483 98097 1708740 1786477 1766707 1873008 7408 70329 X false true X true false X 1161120 1589120 1225832 2059765 1592720 7628557 0 0 1161120 1589120 1225832 2059765 1592720 7628557 495642 7132915 37817 29830 38297 53798 34338 194080 0 0 7822637 0.91180 0.91840 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20362 16287 4075 18835 18835 4075 1838946 70329 134686 205015 1633931 1633931 1761209 134686 134686 1626523 1626523 X X X X X X X true Melissa Burkholder 3307 Crestwind Katy TX 77494 Grant Writing false 18188 18188 TX Iron Sommelier 491956 333429 158527 36605 6500 64891 Cycle for Life 147910 138770 9140 634 9553 2 186928 186928 17025 14047 11577 826794 659127 167667 17025 51286 6500 86021 160832 6835 X X X false false false false false false false false false Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 150000 5000 4688 10904 170592 X Auction items 113 54994 FMV X Raffle items 1 2500 FMV false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Monthly Periwinkle Days at the Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers are special performances (dance, music, theater, visual arts) by professional artists from Young Audiences of Houston and/or arts & crafts activities facilitated by Periwinkle volunteers.In 2019, Periwinkle's Long Term Survivor program included a weekend retreat and opportunities for young adult survivors to get together to share experiences, learn life skills and give back to the cancer community.
