Periwinkle brought 183 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2011. 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. 101300 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. Periwinkle's Arts and Creative Writing 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.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 330 pieces of art representing six different countries. To highlight Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the artwork is exhibited at Texas Childrens Hospital which is the first stop on a journey traveling to venues throughout the country. 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 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. Additional 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. 98625 In its 14th year, Camp YOLO (You Only Live Once) addresses the unique challenges faced by adolescents living with cancer, renal, cardiac 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 200 campers attended the May/September camp sessions, along with approximately 50 dedicated volunteers, each session. 57048 601558 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 36 36 true false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false X X X Daniel N Hannon 7138070191 3000 Richmond Ste 340 Houston TX 77098 Jacqueline B Vogel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Tharp 1.00 X 0 0 0 Winston Talbert 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Stevens 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Steinhart 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Sperandio 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Simon 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Petrello 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Moody 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Mogas 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy McCarthy 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Lucas 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margarita Longoria 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew L Koenig 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Kelley 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Jarriel MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Jarriel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Huang MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hubert Ho MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanie Hare MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erik Hanson 1.00 X 0 0 0 Paul Gerson 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah L Foshee MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jayne Finkowski-Rivera MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 ZoAnn Dreyer MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Dice PT 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Connor 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Connolly 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Clutterbuck 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Jo Cantu 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Bullington 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marsha Bower 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Barry 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Arntzen 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel N Hannon 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Nell Suell 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Sprengnether 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Joseph Birkofer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Doug Suggitt 60.00 X 105000 0 1837 105000 1837 1 false false false 0 229392 522395 7768 751787 0 27585 27585 0 0 0 0 45560 229392 28231 17329 17329 0 0 0 796701 44914 0 0 0 0 106838 82505 7300 17033 0 159980 101336 17593 41051 1004 775 69 160 18559 14332 1268 2959 21007 16223 1435 3349 0 0 25053 25053 0 39000 39000 0 99690 78235 2585 18870 0 106062 43681 28745 33636 5670 5670 0 25745 18021 2318 5406 28246 27863 18 365 0 0 0 0 0 15282 10698 1375 3209 Other expenses 4593 50 3240 1303 Camp supplies 77159 77159 Camp facility fees 130680 130680 0 864568 601558 96669 166341 0 187000 194509 9464 18042 0 0 0 0 0 8115 10962 31657 31657 0 787998 730177 0 0 23000 0 992577 976690 11000 19781 28500 11000 48281 X 937113 876039 44464 52370 981577 928409 992577 976690 X -67867 14699 X false true true X false false X 607943 965496 650822 849769 751787 3825817 0 0 607943 965496 650822 849769 751787 3825817 328299 3497518 29532 32428 18216 11337 27585 119098 0 0 3944915 0.88660 0.89150 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6604 6604 13553 13553 11500 11500 796701 864568 -67867 14699 14699 -53168 949469 14699 138069 152768 796701 796701 1002637 138069 138069 864568 864568 X X X X X X X true Anita Gaylor 28 Bryn Mawr Hou TX 77024 IS Coordtr false 169175 6000 163175 JenniferHawkins 701 Richmond Hou TX 77006 Grant Writer false 15500 In Any Event 6200 Terwilligr Hou TX 77057 Gala consulting false 17500 169175 39000 163175 Iron Sommelier 169175 133905 35270 2368 18689 300 Cycle for Life 82227 71937 10290 702 2642 1 23550 23550 3530 274952 229392 45560 2368 19391 300 6172 28231 17329 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available The Periwinkle Foundation discloses to the general public its financial status by posting a current copy of its IRS Form 990 and audited financial statements on its website.
