Movie & Game Nights
We occasionally hold Movie & Game nights featuring movies on the big screen at Sherry’s House, in Ben’s Corner – The Arts & Crafts Room. The winter months can be especially isolating as you face cold and flu season with a sick child. It may be difficult to get out of the house and do something different but Sherry’s House offers a clean, safe and fun environment.
Birthday Parties
Why Me can help provide birthday parties for children. Our Arts & Crafts room is the perfect space to host a small gathering for family and close friends to celebrate a child’s big day. We enable parents to visit and enjoy the day with their guests to create special birthday memories by assisting with preparations and cleaning.
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.
Character Visits
Why Me can arrange a special visit with a child and a few characters –Batman, Robin, Spiderman, Santa, Cinderella, and few other characters – to brighten a child’s day, whether at the hospital, at home or at Sherry’s House.
Summer Camp
Summer camp typically runs for four weeks from mid July into the beginning of August. Camp is open to Why Me children and siblings ages 4 and up. Each week has a fun theme and includes activities such as arts and crafts, games, fun competitions, outdoor play, snacks and lunch. Each week of camp includes several visits from different fun and talented special guests including scientists, artists, clowns, musicians and magicians. Camp also includes various animal, adventure and exploration programs. Campers can come for a day, a week or the entire time.
