MISSION

The Sunshine Kids Foundation adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing them with exciting, positive group activities, so they may once again do what kids are supposed to do . . . have fun and celebrate life!

GOAL

We look forward to the day when The Sunshine Kids Foundation will no longer need to exist. Until that time, the entire Sunshine Kids family is dedicated to providing the most exciting activities, trips and events for as many young cancer patients as possible.

SUNSHINE KIDS HISTORY

The Sunshine Kids Foundation was founded by Rhoda Tomasco in 1982 while she was serving as a volunteer in the pediatric cancer unit of a hospital in Houston, Texas. After seeing the loneliness and depression among children during their extended hospital treatments, Rhoda had a vision to provide these young cancer patients with opportunities to participate in positive group activities which promoted self-esteem , personal accomplishment and just plain old fashioned fun! Today, that vision has been realized many times over, as thousands of children from hospitals across the country have reaped the benefits of The Sunshine Kids Foundation’s many programs and national and regional events. Funded by personal contributions, corporations and foundations, the Sunshine Kids continues, as it has since its inception, to provide all of its activities completely free of charge to the children’s families and hospitals.

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, adopted The Sunshine Kids Foundation as a network-wide charity in the spring of 1991. The Sunshine Kids believes it found an excellent partner in Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices because of the strong parallels in each organization’s philosophy, mission and goals. The Sunshine Kids Foundation provides a safe place for children with cancer to relax and just be “regular” kids for a while . . . a home away from home. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices members provide safe and livable homes for families throughout the United States and Canada.

Since the inception of this partnership, many Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices real estate managers, brokers and agents have generously assisted the SSK by planning exciting fund-raising events, participating in the ‘listings’ program, and taking an active role in activities and national events designed for the Kids.

Because of socially responsible companies like Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, The Sunshine Kids Foundation is able to carry on with the rewarding work of serving the needs of young cancer patients.
