Mission Statement
To create opportunities for children and their families to reach beyond serious illness and discover joy, confidence and a new world of possibilities, always free of charge.
Description
More than two decades ago, Paul Newman had a vision: imagine if children living with serious illnesses had the chance to simply be children. To just have fun. So he started a camp where kids could, in his words, "raise a little hell." Today, we continue Paul’s legacy with SeriousFun Children’s Network, a growing global community of independently managed and financed camps and programs serving over 50,000 children each year living with serious illnesses. Our dedicated team helps children and their families reach beyond illness to discover joy, confidence and a new world of possibilities - always free of charge. Team SeriousFun is the endurance fundraising program benefitting SeriousFun Children’s Network.
