Summer Camp
Held each summer, camp is open to Why Me children and siblings ages 5 and up. Each day has a fun theme. A typical camp day includes arts and crafts, games, outdoor play, snacks, lunch, and occasional special guest visitors.
Teen Group
The teen group is a special program at Why Me. This group consists of teens who are or have battled cancer and their siblings. Teens in the group volunteer in various ways to support the organization and also get together for fun outings and team building activities. The group is led by our executive director, Rebecca Kuczarski.
Tickets/Group Outings
Throughout the year Why Me receives tickets and invitations to various concerts, shows, athletic events and more. We are able to provide our families with a number fun and unique experiences. Some events are planned as group outings while others are available for individual participation.
Vacation Fun Days
During school vacation weeks try to mix it up for you and offer a fun few hours for our child(ren). Whether a movie night, outings at a bowling alley or visitors to Sherry’s House – it is always fun to be around your fellow Why Me friends for a few hours.
Why Me Sib Squad
Why Me recognizes that a cancer diagnosis can have profound effects on siblings. The Why Me Sib Squad is a way to acknowledge, support, and empower siblings for their vital role in the family. As a member of the Why Me Sib Squad, your child will receive mailings and acknowledgements at different points throughout the year.
