A Bounce Bash(r) is a family event, outing and adventure specially designed to enable the participation of children with complex medical needs and their families in activities that are typically off-limits to them at no cost. These events provide Bounce families with distraction from day-to-day responsibilities, fun and friendship, and face-to-face opportunities to feel safe, accepted and 'normal’ within the community.
On Sunday, June 11th, we are hosting a Bounce Bash(r) for our families to enjoy endless sports and activities like:
- Pickleball, Floor Hockey, & Basketball
- Inflatable Bouncy House, Dart Board & Big Wheel Speedway
- Laser Tag
- Snacks, & Drinks
We need your help to help lead family fun activities at the event. This event will be in Chicago, IL in the afternoon. If this is something you would like to participate in please apply and be on the look out for an email from info@bouncechildrensfundation.org.
Thank you!

Mission Statement
Bounce Children's Foundation transforms the lives of chronically ill children, and their families, shifting all from surviving to thriving.
Description
For the nearly 1 in 5 U.S. children who battle chronic illness, life is a series of shots, surgeries, treatments, hospitalizations, limitations. When a child is diagnosed, the entire family is diagnosed. Sick kids live as patients. Healthy siblings take a 'back seat.’ And parents must manage crises for which there is no training.
While pediatric hospitals offer vast resources, life changes dramatically at-home and in-the-community. Invisible and isolated, the health and well being of all are at risk.
Bounce Children’s Foundation is the only organization to fill this gap. A unique program portfolio offers: community & connection; fun & friendship; education & resources; hope & encouragement; a place to belong - until cures are found.
100% privately-funded, Bounce is free to members. There are no income requirements but many are low income and all face extraordinary out-of-pocket medical costs. The definition of high risk, they have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
Bounce has grown to support 2,200+ Kiddos/Siblings/Parents in just 6 years. But there are many more who need us - especially now. Growth plans are in place across the organization and volunteers are critical to all. Regardless of your skill set or schedule, you can change the life of a child.
Your time and talent will help more families build the resiliency needed to live happier, healthier lives. As one Bounce Dad put it, "Bounce helps families heal!" Thank you for creating more healing!
