Sunrise on Wheels brings the joys of childhood to children undergoing treatment in pediatric oncology units of participating hospitals throughout the country and around the world. With the help of dedicated volunteers and a rainbow trunk brimming with toys, games, and activities, we transform what could be a difficult day into one full of fun and laughter.
We have several volunteer opportunities to volunteer with our Sunrise on Wheels program at TriStar Centennial. Applicants must be 18+ years of age and feel comfortable engaging with chronically ill children in a hospital setting. The program will run every week on Thursdays from 10 AM- 2 PM. This is a long term commitment.
