Periwinkle brought 190 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2017. 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. 317183 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. 166802 In its 19th 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. 117337 1034459 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 11 true false false false false false false true true false 0 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 Imme Past Pre 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 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 Elizabeth Kelley 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 Winston Talbert 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 152000 0 14689 152000 14689 1 false true false Camp for All 10500 NW Freeway 220 Houston TX 77092 Camp facilities 213529 1 469530 756302 65655 1225832 0 38297 38297 0 0 0 0 145572 469530 162612 -17040 -17040 0 0 0 1247089 21257 X 0 0 0 0 166689 91679 25003 50007 0 313819 222336 20055 71428 7842 5125 735 1982 37797 24701 3544 9552 34564 22588 3241 8735 0 0 40153 40153 0 11590 11590 0 256302 207307 22569 26426 0 93978 40458 26363 27157 0 0 293224 264153 10864 18207 28972 27469 546 957 0 4581 4581 0 0 4072 2565 611 896 22635 14260 3395 4980 Camp supplies 98280 98280 Event expenses 29278 29278 L T Survivor & other program 7776 7776 Dues & subscriptions 4830 592 1675 2563 5170 5170 1461552 1034459 163335 263758 0 580575 424790 20080 25825 0 0 0 0 0 7333 8554 39197 26980 16290 12217 846133 936641 0 0 23000 23000 0 1493411 1431027 40686 23235 7780 131099 48466 154334 X 1429865 1255868 15080 20825 1444945 1276693 1493411 1431027 -214463 46211 X false true X true false X 894875 1453977 1161120 1589120 1225832 6324924 0 0 894875 1453977 1161120 1589120 1225832 6324924 403035 5921889 30743 33928 37817 29830 38297 170615 0 0 6495539 0.91170 0.92070 X 20362 8145 12217 18835 18835 12217 1442479 46211 149179 195390 1247089 1247089 1610731 149179 149179 1461552 1461552 false TX Iron Sommelier 343096 207164 135932 22558 6500 70874 Golf Tourn 120262 120262 10086 12550 15150 2 151744 142104 9640 4000 683 20211 615102 469530 145572 14086 35791 6500 106235 162612 -17040 X X X false false false false false false false false false false Doug Suggitt Executive Dir. 150000 2000 4500 10189 166689 X Equip/ supplies 11 5405 FMV X Auction items 60250 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 2017, Periwinkle's Long Term Survivor program included a weekend retreat and opportunities for teen and young adult survivors to get together to share experiences, learn life skills and give back to the cancer community. It also included Celebration of Life, an annual event for cancer survivors. The event brings together newly diagnosed families with former patients to share stories of survival. In April / September 2017, Periwinkle held its bi-annual Family Camp. This program allows families to get away from the hospital routine, forget about their child's illness, create cherished family memories and meet other families who understand the stresses they are experiencing due to a child's cancer diagnosis. Sixteen families attended Family Camp in 2017.
