Cheers for kids

Brighten hospital stays for kids with uplifting handmade cards and care kits—created by volunteers—so every child feels seen, brave, and not alone.

Cheers for Kids is a teen-led nonprofit that brings joy to children in hospitals through colorful, encouraging cards and thoughtfully assembled care kits with small toys and art supplies. We partner with Child Life teams to make sure donations are hospital-safe and truly helpful. Volunteers (no art skills needed!) can draw and write cards, pack kits, host school or community events, start a chapter, or help with social media and fundraising. Whether you join a one-hour drop-in session or lead a monthly drive, you’ll earn service hours and make a tangible difference for kids who need a boost. Together, we turn simple gestures into cherished moments for young patients and their families.
