Tune In This Sunday April 26, 2009 5AM-6AM on 710 ESPN Radio The Sunshine Kids Foundation Brooks Tomb, Director, Western Region The Sunshine Kids Foundation and Katie Sparks, Sunshine Kids National SpokesKid.
Brooks came in studio to discuss The Sunshine Kids which is a non-profit organization dedicated to children with cancer. He tells us the activities are provided for children who are receiving treatment from hospitals in the Greater Houston area and western regional office in Las Angeles.
"We also invite the parents and siblings to attend these events. It is not just the child who is dealing with the diagnosis, it is the entire family."The kids were treated to a first class trip to Dodger stadium. 35 Sunshine Kids went to see the Dodgers play the Giants. Sam's Club generously hosted a dinner before the game at the LA Police Academy in Elysian Park.
Katie Sparks is such a trooper! Though she wasn't feeling well she phoned in to tell us her experience as the Spokeskid for the foundation and how the Sunshine Kids activities has made such a positive difference for her and her family.
Established in 1982, we are committed to providing positive group activities and emotional support for young cancer patients. The Sunshine Kids provides a variety of programs and events, free of charge, for kids who are receiving cancer treatments in hospitals across North America. The funding sources for the Foundation include private, corporate, civic clubs, philanthropic foundations and memorial donations. How can you help? We're looking for folks who want to create activities for Sunshine Kids. Call Amy: (323) 769-2520 and she'll help you set it up!
