Thanks to the generosity of the Washington Capitals and our incredible donor Natalie Arteen, Casey Cares families had the amazing opportunity to witness the hockey team in action from a private suite!

For Addyson, who faces challenges with Autonomic Dysfunction and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and her brother Ethen, attending the Capitals game in person was an absolute highlight as they are avid fans of the team. Their mother Michelle said, "Thank you Casey Cares for a great night out at the Caps game. The kids had a blast and we met other amazing Casey Cares families. It was a great night and suite life was awesome. Gonna be hard to top a Caps game now in the regular seats after suite life and a private bathroom!"

Sawyer, who has been part of the Casey Cares family for over three years and has bravely undergone numerous treatments for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, loved attending with his younger brother Hudson. Having endured numerous chemotherapy infusions, lumbar punctures, blood transfusions, and countless pills for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Sawyer has now reached a significant milestone of being treatment-free for a year!⁠ The family stated, "Thank you again so much for this opportunity!! We had a great time tonight and this will definitely be one we remember!"

It was an even more exciting night as the Capitals emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

Thank you to the Washington Capitals and Natalie Arteen for supporting our palliative programs and raising the spirits of our kids! Have tickets to a sporting event or want to donate a private suite to our families? Email our Program Director Summer for more information!
