Periwinkle brought 190 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2018. 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. 363803 The mission of the Periwinkle Arts In Medicine (AIM) program at Texas Childrens 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 Texas Children's Cancer and Hematology Centers 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 15 local artists and arts organizations, PAIM is able to connect the communitys 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 Texas Childrens Cancer and Hematology Centers in the state of Texas: Houston Main Campus, Katy West Campus, The Woodlands Campus and the Vannie Cook Childrens 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 2018, over 200 patients and siblings participated in this workshop, publishing 250 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 2018, 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 Childrens Cancer and Hematology Centers.Making A Mark - An exhibition of art and creating writing by children touched by cancer and blood disorders at Texas Childrens Cancer and Hematology Centers. Making A Mark is open to children from treatment centers all over the world. In 2018, more than 300 pieces of individual art and creative writing were exhibited at Texas Childrens Hospital (TCH), which is the first stop on the exhibits journey as it travels year round to ten other venues including: TCH West (Katy); The Woodlands Childrens 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 6,500 works of art since inception. The 2018 Featured Guest Artist was Emily Fens. 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. 186219 In its 20th 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 283 campers attended the April/September camp sessions, along with approximately 60 dedicated volunteers, each session. 164560 1126646 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 9 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false X 37 37 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 Cathy Connolly President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rick Sperandio 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 David Steinhart 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 Sean Beck Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Birkofer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Jo Cantu Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marti Carr 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 Illa Gaunt 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 Jenifer Jarriel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Jarriel MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maria Kelley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew L Koenig 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 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 George Chip Storey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Tharp Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Walker Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JC Woods Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 150000 0 15178 150000 15178 1 false true false Camp for All 3701 Kirby Dr Suite 570 Houston TX 77098 Camp facilities 220035 Texas Childrens Hospital 6621 Fannin St Houston TX 77030 Arts in Medicine Pgm 100081 2 1008516 1051249 216428 2059765 0 53798 53798 0 0 0 26272 26065 207 207 207 427375 1008516 412974 14401 14401 0 0 0 2128171 68406 X 0 0 0 0 165177 84787 55789 24601 0 336936 234971 4654 97311 9105 5805 386 2914 56919 36376 4445 16098 36255 23265 4219 8771 0 0 39855 39855 0 0 0 302205 233236 24876 44093 0 87441 27866 33959 25616 1922 364 1558 0 72121 44623 9208 18290 31426 30625 171 630 0 325 325 0 0 4071 2565 529 977 26692 16816 3470 6406 Camp rental expense 226515 226515 Camp supplies 159196 159196 Event expenses 53554 53554 0 1609715 1126646 182250 300819 372910 508315 51880 202651 25825 94482 0 0 0 0 0 8554 3885 39197 31051 12217 8146 936641 926228 0 0 23000 23000 0 1431027 1766707 23235 45481 131099 12486 154334 57967 X 1255868 1525257 20825 183483 1276693 1708740 1431027 1766707 518456 -86409 X false true X true false X 1453977 1161120 1589120 1225832 2059765 7489814 0 0 1453977 1161120 1589120 1225832 2059765 7489814 433321 7056493 33928 37817 29830 38297 53798 193670 0 0 7683484 0.91840 0.91170 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20362 12216 8146 18835 18835 8146 2173089 -86409 131327 44918 2128171 2128171 1741042 131327 131327 1609715 1609715 false TX Gala 784765 503740 281025 6000 59542 18800 188743 Iron Sommelier 378160 239295 138865 5220 30695 70451 3 272966 265481 7485 16220 1470 245 15588 1435891 1008516 427375 27440 91707 19045 274782 412974 14401 X X X false false false false false false false false false false Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 150000 4500 10678 165178 Auction items 248 212928 FMV Raffle item 1 3500 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 with special performances (dance, music, theater, visual arts) by professional artists from Young Audiences of Houston and/or arts & crafts activities facilitated by Periwinkle volunteer.In 2018, 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.
