Description
Founded as Queen for a Day, The For a Day Foundation, a 501(C)3 non-profit organization, aims to provide memorable and emotionally therapeutic experiences for seriously ill children through positive attention, artistic expression, and self-confidence building activities. Founded in 2000, QFAD has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in People Magazine.The For a Day Foundation is committed to creating emotionally therapeutic experiences for seriously ill children--and providing them and their families with a joyful and much needed diversion from the strain of chronic treatment.
We believe that by engaging and supporting these children with our programs, we not only offer them a brief respite from the realities of their illness and everyday hospital routine, but also a lasting and cherished memory to make any day a little brighter.
Participating Michigan hospitals: William Beaumont-Royal Oak, St. John Hospital-Grosse Pointe, Children's Hospital of Michigan-Detroit, Mott Children's Hospital-Ann Arbor, Sparrow Hospital-Lansing and Hurley Hospital-Flint.
Visits with children also take place at Camp Quality-Fenton, Camp Quality-Traverse City, Gilda's Club-Royal Oak. FADF also does individual visits for children at home or in the hospital.
