Bringing Sunshine to Pediatric Patients

ABOUT OUR TEAM

Project Sunshine at UC Berkeley is a passionate team of student volunteers dedicated to supporting the emotional well-being of pediatric patients through play, companionship, and hands-on activities. Our volunteers visit local hospitals to provide therapeutic play, creative projects, and moments of joy that help children cope with medical treatment and long hospital stays. Our leadership team coordinates training, hospital partnerships, and volunteer events to ensure that our program operates smoothly and sustainably. The funds we raise support the creation of activity kits, craft supplies, training materials, and transportation costs that allow our volunteers to consistently and safely serve pediatric patients. We are fundraising to sustain our yearly programming and expand our outreach to bring comfort, connection, and sunshine to even more children across the Bay Area.    

This year, our goal is to strengthen and broaden our programming to reach even more children. We are raising funds to maintain our activity kit program, support hospital partnerships, and ensure that every volunteer is well-trained and equipped to participate in meaningful, safe interactions. With your support, we hope to continue spreading joy and care throughout the pediatric community!


WHAT YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS

Your contribution directly fuels the hands-on work of our chapter. Funding will be used throughout this semester and in the upcoming academic year. These resources allow us to sustain and expand the programs children depend on most, including:

  • 50%: Activity Kit and Craft Supplies
  • 25%: Volunteer Training and Certification
  • 15%: Program Logistics and Transportation
  • 10%: Administrative & Outreach Costs

Meeting our goal will allow us to bring more joy, comfort, and connection to pediatric patients during difficult hospital stays. With reliable supplies and trained volunteers, we can offer meaningful play experiences that support children's emotional well-being. This project strengthens our campus community by empowering Cal students to make a real impact in the lives of local families. Even if we are unable to meet our goal, all funds will still go towards activity kits, craft materials, and volunteer training so we can continue to support pediatric patients. However, if we surpass our goal, excess funds will help us expand activity kit distribution, increase frequency in volunteer visits, and explore new partnerships. 


WHY SUPPORT PROJECT SUNSHINE?

Your donation makes an immediate and personal difference to the lives of pediatric patients. Each activity kit, craft session, and volunteer visit helps reduce stress and isolation for the children who are going through some of the hardest moments of their lives. By supporting our chapter, you empower U.C. Berkeley students to give back to their community, uplift local families, and bring emotional comfort to the pediatric patients who truly need it.
