We hope you’ll learn something new and share this with someone who may benefit.

February 15 is International Childhood Cancer Day. 🎗️

Our Children, Teen and Family Programs at The Gathering Place support children and teens living with cancer — and the families who love them. Our free programs and services help families cope with the emotional, social, and physical impact of cancer.

We offer one-on-one consultations, support groups for families, parents/caregivers and siblings, grief support, summer day camp, and family fun days.

No family should have to face childhood cancer alone. Learn more about our children's & family support services:
