As we bid farewell to 2023, we can't help but share the amazing milestones we've reached together! 

This year has marked record-breaking particpation for our Clay Sporting Tournament, over 500 runners and walkers joining us for our 5K at the Maryland Zoo, our highest number of sponsorships for our Rock 'N' Roll Bash thanks to board member Mike DiMayo, more than 25,000 new pajamas donated to critically ill kids and hospitals, celebrated 1,000+ birthdays, and shifted to more in-person activities among other special events!

We provided 33,938 activities to 56,512 participants in 2023! That works out to one activity every 16 minutes! Thanks to donations, you have had a huge impact on critically ill children and their family members across the Mid-Atlantic region, parts of the Midwest, Florida, and D.C.
