Family Festivities
Making Time for Quality Time
Casey Cares Family Festivities Program is an ongoing program, one in which each family participates three times each year. These families face numerous challenges and often find it challenging to organize outings due to the demands of medical appointments and specialist visits. We make an effort to support the intellectual, emotional, and social development of our children by providing a diverse range of art, entertainment, and culturally related activities, ensuring they have access to unique and invaluable experiences.
For children facing critical illnesses, the world outside the hospital can feel distant. When they’re feeling better, trips to the zoo, sports games, live shows, or amusement parks become invaluable memories. Our experiences are designed with the interests and abilities of families in mind, helping to keep their dreams alive.
We also consider the unique logistics families face, providing vouchers for parking and food to ease any financial strain. This ensures that families with critically or terminally ill children can enjoy activities without added stress, allowing them to focus on making lasting memories together.
Even when a child is unable to go on an outing due to their health, we offer opportunities for the entire family to cherish moments of togetherness with our Movie & Pizza Night packages. Movie & Pizza Night packages can be a great way to enjoy a quiet evening together, either at home or at the hospital, with the cost of dinner covered and a way to watch a movie through gift cards. Help us help more families! Send a Movie & Pizza Night to our families from our Amazon wish list and have it sent directly to our office!

Testimonials
“I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the Cirque de Italia tickets we enjoyed the show. Layo especially loved the juggling acrobat on the unicycle. It was a great close for our weekend. We appreciate all the “lasting memories” you help us create.”
The Isebor Family
“Thank you and everyone at Casey Cares Foundation for sending our family a movie night package. Liam and everyone were so excited when we received it. Liam and his younger brother immediately started planning our night. Liam was especially excited about the Target gift card because he wants to go look for new foods he can eat. He is on a renal diet and has been very limited by what he can have and what he used to have. Liam was diagnosed with IgA Nephrotic Syndrome in January and since then it’s been a tough battle. Despite treatments not working to control it, he keeps pushing through. Currently, he is at the hospital twice a week for dialysis and additional treatments. Next week he will be admitted for another treatment. We are really hoping something clicks soon and he starts to feel better. Your organization has offered smiles, hope and a breath of fresh air during a very difficult time. Thank you for everything you do!”
