TO PROVIDE CANCER FAMILIES A NETWORK OF SUPPORT, MADE UP OF OTHER PATIENTS AND FAMILIES WHO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS OF THE CANCER EXPERIENCE.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE ENRICHING ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER.

  • CAMP FANTASTIC - WEEKLONG CAMP FOR CHILDREN WITH CANCER. IT'S A FUN-FILLED WEEK OF SWIMMING, CANOEING, HORSEBACK RIDING, MARSHMALLOW ROASTING, CAMPFIRE SINGING AND PILLOW FIGHTING. MEDICAL STAFF ARE PRESENT FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK OF CAMP TO CARE FOR THE CHILDREN.

    Expenses $458,194 · Revenue $50

  • BRASS ACTIVITIES - CAMP FOR THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER. WHILE THE PARENTS OF A YOUNG CANCER PATIENT UNDERSTANDABLY SPEND MUCH OF THEIR TIME FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS OF THEIR SICK CHILD, THE HEALTHY SIBLINGS SOMETIMES FEEL GUILTY, INVISIBLE OR IGNORED. AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONAL UPHEAVAL AS PARENTS, THEY MAY HAVE LESS CAPACITY TO COPE. SPECIAL LOVE'S UNIQUE CAMPS FOR SIBLINGS BECOME AN IMPORTANT OUTLET AS SIBLINGS ADJUST TO A NEW FAMILY ROUTINE.

    Expenses $203,151 · Revenue $675

  • IN ADDITION TO CAMP FANTASTIC AND BRASS ACTIVITIES, SPECIAL LOVE OFFERS MANY WEEKENDS FOR THE FAMILIES AND CANCER PATIENTS TO CONNECT WITH OTHER PATIENTS AND RELAX.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
