Periwinkle brought 178 campers, ages 7 to 15, to Camp Periwinkle in 2010. 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. 107034 In its 13th 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. A combined 123 campers attended the April/September camp sessions, along with approximately 50 dedicated volunteers, each session. 105566 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. Other programs include: Monthly "Periwinkle Days" at the Cancer Center with special performances(dance, music, theatre, visual arts) by professional artists and arts & crafts activities facilitated by Periwinkle volunteers. Weekly writing workshops with a professional writer from Writers in Schools(WITS) resulting in the publication 2-3 times a year 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. Annual Making a Mark Traveling Exhibition of art and creative writing featuring a professional guest artist each year who works, with the help of Periwinkle volunteers, with children at the Cancer Center to create a collaborative piece to be included in the traveling exhibit. Post Cards From the Road programs allow visitors of the exhibit from around the world to send postcards to the young artists. The postcards, mailed through the Periwinkle Foundation, allow the children to see how their art and creative writing touches others. 34429 551449 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false 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 9 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 35 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 ZoAnn Dreyer MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Winston Talbert 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Sprengnether 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Scott Jarriel MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah L Foshee MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Rick Sperandio 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Nell Suell MD 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Jo Cantu 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Clark 40.00 X 27400 0 0 Mary Beth Staine 60.00 X 82856 0 2486 Marsha Bower 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Mogas 1.00 X 0 0 0 Margarita Longoria 1.00 X 0 0 0 Larry Tharp 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Lucas 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy McCarthy 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph R Birkofer 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Clutterbuck 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joanie Hare MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jenifer Jarriel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jen Dice 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jayne Finkowski-Rivera MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline B Vogel 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hubert Ho MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Huang MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Erik Hanson 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Kelley 1.00 X 0 0 0 Doug L Suggitt 60.00 X 8750 0 0 David Steinhart 1.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel N Hannon 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Cynthia Petrello 1.00 X 0 0 0 Clare Keimig 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher J Simon 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Connolly 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bryan Cannon MD 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew L Koenig 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison Connor 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Barry 1.00 X 0 0 0 119006 2486 0 false false false 0 418575 431194 8054 849769 0 11337 11337 0 0 0 0 174865 418575 90047 84818 84818 0 0 0 945924 96155 0 0 0 0 121492 84869 10935 25688 0 119032 85916 9934 23182 695 487 62 146 1134 165 922 47 17831 9888 2383 5560 0 850 850 21556 21556 0 14000 14000 0 92256 49736 19336 23184 0 108084 52100 26789 29195 11238 11238 0 25808 19383 4381 2044 27616 27017 179 420 0 0 0 0 0 9214 6450 829 1935 Other expenses 918 125 506 287 Other Event expenses 27534 27534 Camp supplies 87185 87185 Camp facility fees 128128 128128 0 814571 551449 109900 153222 0 176672 187000 2500 9464 0 0 0 0 0 25766 8115 31657 31657 0 710228 787998 0 0 0 0 915166 992577 17927 11000 63825 81752 11000 X 789099 937113 44315 44464 833414 981577 915166 992577 X 131353 16810 X false true true X false false X 696561 607943 965496 650822 849769 3770591 0 0 696561 607943 965496 650822 849769 3770591 312149 3458442 17378 29532 32428 18216 11337 108891 0 0 3879482 0.89150 0.89470 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6604 6604 13553 13553 11500 11500 945924 814571 131353 16810 16810 148163 1071079 16810 108345 125155 945924 945924 922916 108345 108345 814571 814571 false Gala 464700 300035 164665 52535 1575 30440 Cycle for Life 93670 85270 8400 1289 1386 2 35070 33270 1800 2822 593440 418575 174865 53824 1575 34648 90047 84818 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.
