Mission Statement
To provide comfort and distraction from painful procedures to children and teens who have been diagnosed with cancer, by providing gifts from a Treasure Chest.
Description
The hope, dream and goal of the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation is to have a Treasure Chest in all pediatric oncology facilities in the nation. The Treasure Chest Program allows pediatric cancer patients to choose an age appropriate toy or gift card as a reward for having the courage to undergo painful but necessary procedures. Currently, the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest program comforts over 16,100 children and teens each month.
Our Values
Child-Focused - With each decision made, our focus is on how to best serve the children and teens who benefit from our treasure chests.
Community - All children and teens facing cancer are welcomed to our treasure chests. We affirm the dignity and worth of each and every participant, volunteer, and staff member.
Gratitude - Every donation, and every toy is genuinely appreciated. We are grateful to all our volunteers and donors. Without you, fulfilling our mission would not be possible.
Growth - The Treasure Chest Foundation strives to grow to a place to serve every child with cancer in the US.
Hope - Every child and teen deserves hope and joy in their life and we will continue to do all we can to provide that.
