Holiday celebrations are memorable moments in a child’s life. However, the financial hardships surrounding the care of an ill child often leave a family with little extra to celebrate the season.
enCourage Kids Foundation hosts an annual Holiday Party for the countless kids and families that we serve. Volunteers are truly essential to enhancing the festive mood and lifting spirits of sick children during the holiday season, and this particular event is one that our children and families look forward to most.
You will provide the children and their families with a lifelong and unforgettable holiday experience. With your help, they will be able to take a break from treatment and daily hardships to enjoy a special brunch, a hot chocolate bar, sing and dance to holiday classics, and receive a special gift from Santa. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, December 7th at The Cosmopolitan in Wayne, New Jersey. We expect approximately 180 boys and girl to attend this fun and festive afternoon. Please join us in spreading holiday cheer to sick kids and their families. Volunteers help with handing out presents, checking in families, and all ongoing activities.

Mission Statement
enCourage Kids Foundation helps humanize healthcare for children and their families by resourcing impact-driven pediatric programs and supporting the Child Life Community.
Description
enCourage Kids is a non-profit, that helps to humanize healthcare for children and their families by resourcing impact-driven pediatric programs and supporting the Child Life Community. We provide resources, tools, and direct support to 285 hospital partners across the country to help to improve the health and well-being of their pediatric patients and make hospitals a better place to get better. This includes art, music, and pet therapies, sending entertainers to provide distraction for children at their bedsides, sending cuddly Bears to young patients for comfort, and more.
Additionally, we offer family outings for children facing medical challenges that help them to connect with others like them and take a break from their daily stresses. We envision a world where every child-regardless of the difficulty of his or her medical journey-experiences joy, hope, resilience, and healing.
