The Sunrise Association was created to provide emotional,
social, recreational, physical assistance and support designed to meet the
needs of children with cancer and other serious chronic illness, as well as the
needs of these children’s siblings. To
accomplish this, the Sunrise Association (1) establishes and operates summer day camps and year-round programs including in-hospital programs for
these children and (2) provides operational assistance to similar
organizations establishing and/or operating summer day camps and programs for
these children.
