My Appeal
Sadly the stream of sick children never ends, while the costs of fabric and materials have tripled over the past few years. Like so many across the country, volunteers have struggled with job losses and economic hardship as a result of COVID-19, making it more difficult for them to continue to donate pillowcases. The average cost of a pillowcase is $11.00. Individual donations and grants from organizations have helped defray some of the costs but we have found we cannot continue to meet the needs of the children without additional funding. The money raised from this virtual wellness challenge will go towards every aspect of the magic of Ryan's Case for Smiles, contributing to our initiatives with CopingSpace, as well as fabric for our pillowcases. If you would like to make a contribution, please help us out by participating, or donating on behalf of a registrant you know!

My Cause
The Mission: Ryan's Case For Smiles (CFS) enables children with cancer and other life-changing illnesses, as well as their families, to cope with their illness today, while building resilience to thrive in the future. In short, to feel better to heal better.
About the Organization: Ryan's Case for Smiles, with 120 chapters nationwide and deliveries to 363 hospitals, improves the quality of life of children and their families as they undergo treatment for life-changing illnesses and injuries. We are dedicated to the mental health and well-being of the child and their family. Supporting the child's emotional needs can be as important as providing medical care. Ryan's Case for Smiles provides over 200,000 bright cheerful pillowcases per year to children in treatment that give an emotional boost and remind them that they are not defined by their illness. We are developing one of the first initiatives to address pediatric medical post-traumatic stress and help children's entire families better cope and avoid long term emotional trauma. Ryan's Case for Smiles is devoted to helping sick children with life-changing illnesses feel better to heal better.
