Every June, the HOPE Program sponsors Celebrate Life with HOPE, an event honoring childhood cancer survivors and their families.
Celebrate Life with HOPE 2011
 What is Celebrate Life with HOPE?
- The largest annual event of its type in the nation
- A place where survivors and their families get together with hospital staff
- An event where survivors meet community and national support agencies that can help them
- A place for HOPE Program donors to meet cancer survivors
In addition to enjoying fun and food, the event emphasizes health promotion and wellness through attention to nutrition, self-care, and mind-body fitness. Held on the New York City backlot of Paramount Pictures, we are joined by celebrities and entertainers who make the day so absolutely special. Celebrate Life with HOPE emphasizes survivorship and life-long wellness as an on-going process that involves physical health and learning to maximize quality of life.
With over 2,400 participants last year, we are expecting an even larger turnout this year. Sponsored by the HOPE Program in the Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases, this wonderful event is free to our children and families. The event is made possible by the philanthropic support of outstanding individuals, organizations, and businesses.
Volunteer at Celebrate Life
Volunteers are actively recruited year-round to help stage this event, as well as donors of materials and funds. We are especially interested in welcoming actors and entertainers who are willing to share their time and talent with our families. These individuals help attract the media to get the word out that childhood cancer is a devastating disease, but together we are making a difference in survivorship and improved quality of life.
