Mission	Periwinkle Camps, Arts and Survivor programs positively change the lives of children, young adults, and families who are challenged by cancer and other life threatening illnesses and are cared for at Texas Children's Hospital.	MissionDesc

Desc	Since 1983, The Periwinkle Foundation has provided a week-long camp for children with cancer and blood disorders and their siblings. Periwinkle brought 184 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2016. 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.

Desc	Since 2001, Periwinkle has collaborated with the Arts in Medicine Program at Texas Children's Cancer Center to bring fun and unique opportunities for self expression, empowerment and development of coping skills to patients and their families utilizing professional artists and writers. The Periwinkle Arts In Medicine Program culminates each year in Texas Children's Cancer Center's Making A Mark, an exhibition of art and creative writing by children touched by cancer and blood disorders, presented by The Periwinkle Foundation.The Making A Mark Traveling Exhibit is open to children from treatment centers all over the world. We have been proud to display over 200 entries annually since the first exhibit. This year, the exhibit features over 300 pieces of art representing five different countries. To highlight Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the artwork is exhibited at Texas Children's Hospital which is the first stop on a journey traveling to venues throughout the city. The Postcards From the Road program allows people who view the traveling exhibit to write a postcard to the artists. The Periwinkle Foundation mails each postcard to the artists to share with them the well-wishes and inspirational words their art inspires. Weekly writing workshops with a professional writer from Writers in the Schools(WITS) result in the quarterly publication of the children's work in an anthology produced by The Periwinkle Foundation - The Splendid Review. Copies of The Splendid Review are mailed to all the children who have submitted pieces for publication. Copies are kept in the waiting room areas of the Cancer Center and are sent with the Making a Mark traveling exhibit enabling the young writers the opportunity to share their creative writing with other families.

Desc	In its 17th 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 226 campers attended the April/September camp sessions, along with approximately 60 dedicated volunteers, each session.	Desc
