The Sandbox serves families whose child has cancer, rare, life-altering or terminal illness. Our two major focus areas to help families are: our Continuum of Care model, called our CARRE Program, and annual events such as our An Evening of Believing℠ Prom. Our goal is to help Honorees and their families during the most tumultuous times of their lives so they can focus on the most important factors: Believing and Healing. We rally the community to meet practical, social, emotional and material needs through a wide variety of services, programs and events. Our CARRE​ program is the umbrella to which all support is offered. CARRE​ stands for Caring About Real Relationships Empathetically. Because support can mean very different things to people, The Sandbox strives to meet the social, emotional and material needs of the entire family, not just the honoree. The Sandbox is committed to walking alongside families who face the realities of having a child with a diagnosis. This can mean helping with basic needs, arranging special days to get a break from the rigors of their treatment or even assisting with the emotional transition in the grief and bereavement process. The Sandbox helps the entire family when they need it, where they need it and how they need it, for as long as they need it.
