关于我们
Sky High for Kids’ vision is to help end Childhood Cancer. Sky High is funding revolutionary research projects that will not only advance treatment worldwide but also move the survival rate needle forward. Between supporting the first immunotherapy center dedicated to pediatric oncology in the U.S., to funding sub-Saharan doctors and health providers to train in pediatric oncology specifically to combat the abysmal survival rates in that region, to helping fund the largest research facility for Pediatric Cancer research in the world, Sky High for Kids is vetting and supporting projects that will have the largest impact on Childhood Cancer. In addition, Sky High also has a number of programs that provide comfort to children undergoing cancer treatment. This includes the Adventures Program that takes families on an outdoor adventures, Tie for Sky High Program which provides blankets to patients, Patient Carnivals Program which serve as a little distraction from treatment and a moment for kids to be kids as well as the Ponytail Donations Program to provide hair donations and, ultimately, wigs for children. They also support comfort projects at various facilities that includes providing wish list items, electricity, a power outage solution, daily warm breakfast and more to families so they may focus on their child’s treatment. Since 2007, the organization has donated over $20 million to benefit Childhood Cancer patients and research. Learn more at skyhighforkids.org.

?? Yesterday was a day to remember as the Romero Family hosted their annual Toy Drive for Sky High, and wow, our Lafayette community truly showed up for our Cancer Warriors! ?? Hundreds of generous people came together to enjoy food, music, and, most importantly, donate toys for our upcoming Christmas Carnival in December! ???? We cannot thank the Romero family enough for opening their home and creating such a meaningful and heartwarming event. ?? Special shoutout to Noah (pictured in the first photo), a brave Childhood Ccancer survivor who started this incredible tradition to give back to kids who are going through what he once did. His family's annual toy drive has grown incredibly over the years—just two years ago, we were filling the back of a pickup truck, and now our entire trailer is packed to the brim! ??? This is a true testament to the power of community and the spirit of giving. We are beyond grateful for the generosity of our Lafayette family. ?? Sky High for Kids began right here, and seeing the outpouring of support only reminds us of how deeply this mission is woven into the heart of our community. A huge thank you to everyone who showed up, donated, and played a part in making this day so special. ?? The Christmas Carnival is going to be incredible—and it’s all thanks to you! #SkyHighForKids #GoingSkyHigh #ToyDrive #CommunityLove #LafayetteStrong #GivingBack #CancerWarriors #Grateful #SkyHighFamily
