Describe the Organization's Mission:

Part 3 - Line 1

THE SANDBOX IS AN INTIMATE, UNORTHODOX TEAM OF COMPASSIONATE FAMILIES, TEAM MEMBERS, AND VOLUNTEERS THAT BLEND TAILORED SUPPORT, PROGRAMS, UNFORGETTABLE EVENTS, AND A BIT OF UNEXPECTED LOVE SO FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN ARE FACING CANCER OR ANY OTHER LIFE-ALTERING, RARE, OR TERMINAL ILLNESS NEVER WALK ALONE. THROUGH OUR C.A.R.R.E., RESPITE, HERO AND CELEBRATION PROGRAMMING, THE SANDBOX TURNS LIFE-ALTERING DIAGNOSES INTO A REASON TO LIVE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. ENJOY THE GOOD TIMES A LITTLE MORE INTENSELY, CHAT WITH OTHER FAMILIES LIKE THEIR OWN A LITTLE MORE OFTEN, AND CREATE MORE INTIMATE CONNECTIONS DURING THEIR JOURNEY. A LIFETIME OF DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS CAN BE MATCHED WITH A LIFETIME OF INTIMATE CARE FROM SUPPORTIVE FRIENDS WHO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED IT. WHEN A FAMILY IS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO WALK ALONGSIDE THEM, WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO JUMP INTO THE SANDBOX. RADICAL MEANS REVOLUTIONARY, AND THAT'S WHAT WE AIM TO BE AT THE SANDBOX! WHEN WE CARRE FOR OUR FAMILIES,

HOW WE HELP CANCER OR OTHER RARE, LIFE-ALTERING, OR TERMINAL ILLNESSES DON?T TAKE BREAKS, AND NEITHER DO WE! WE EXIST TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY FACING THE DIFFICULT DIAGNOSIS OF A CHILD, USING THE RESOURCES WE HAVE IN THE SANDBOX. EACH FAMILY IS UNIQUE, AND THAT?S WHY WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE CARRE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE EACH FAMILY WITH THE CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT AND FELLOWSHIP EVENTS NEEDED SO THE FAMILY IS NEVER ALONE. *INTIMATE IMPACT OPPORTUNITIES: POST COVID, WE COMMITTED TO STRIVING FOR AN EVEN HIGHER, DEEPER LEVEL OF IMPACT FOR OUR FAMILIES. IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISH THIS, WE INVEST OUR TIME AND GENUINE INTEREST IN FAMILIES AND HENCE, THE IMPACT OPPORTUNITIES WE DESIGN, ALIGN WITH EXACTLY WHAT OUR FAMILIES TRULY NEED AND WANT. IN ADDITION TO ACCOMPLISHING A 2ND WEEKEND OF BELIEVING POST COVID, WE WERE ABLE TO SEND A HERO FAMILY, ALL EXPENSES PAID, TO HILTON HEAD 4 MONTHS AFTER THEIR DAUGHTER PASSED. WE RALLIED THE COMMUNITY AND REQUESTED GIFT CARDS TO A VARIETY OF RESTAURANTS AND TOGETHER WITH THE SANDBOX LOVE OFFERINGS WERE ABLE TO PAY FOR ALL ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, AND RECREATION FOR THE WEEKEND. THIS LEVEL OF INTIMATE, PERSONALIZED, RADICAL CARRE IS THE STANDARD AND HAS NOW SET THE TONE OF RADICAL IMPACT ON CARRE FOR ALL YEARS TO COME. *GOLF FORE CARRE TOURNAMENT @ TPC PIPER GLEN: OUR ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT WHICH IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO SPOIL OUR FAMILIES WITH BLESSING TICKETS AND ALLOW THEM THE RARE OPPORTUNITY TO LEAVE THEIR CARES AT HOME AND ENJOY A FUND DAY OUT AT THE COURSE. FAMILIES ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED AND INVITED TO JOIN IN THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE EVENTS INCLUDING MEETING EVERYONE FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH , OUR AFTER-PARTY AND OUR INFAMOUS HELICOPTER DROP. *PREVIEW NIGHT AT "THE SOUTHERN CHRISTMAS SHOW" THE SOUTHERN CHRISTMAS SHOW IS A CHARLOTTE STAPLE EVENT FOR YEARS. COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND GUESTS TRAVELING FROM AFAR LOOK FORWARD TO THIS HOLIDAY CELEBRATION OF FOOD, FUN AND GIFTS AT THIS CHRISTMAS THEMED HOLIDAY WONDERLAND. PREVIEW NIGHT IS A SNEAK PEEK AT THE SHOW WHERE ATTENDEES CAN ENJOY THE FIRST GLANCE AT ALL THE VENDORS WHILE STROLLING WITH YUMMY APPETIZERS AND MINGLING WITH MEMBERS OF THE SANDBOX. PROCEEDS FROM THE ADMISSION FOR PREVIEW NIGHT BENEFIT THE SANDBOX. OUR SANDBOX FAMILIES, LEADERSHIP AND VOLUNTEERS ENJOY COMING OUT ON HTIS NIGHT AND AS WELL, OFTEN RECEIVE COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO ENJOY THE SHOW ON THE SUBSEQUENT DAYS THEREAFTER, *WEEKEND OF BELIEVING, @ THE WESTIN HILTON HEAD WHEN A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH A LIFE-ALTERING CONDITION, PARENTS FEEL THE BURDEN OF ENSURING EVERY DAY INCLUDES SOMETHING FUN. THEY SEEK OUT EXCITING AND ENGAGING ACTIVITIES TO REMIND THEIR CHILDREN THAT LIFE ISN'T ALL ABOUT THE DIAGNOSIS. IN ADDITION, OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, AND NEIGHBORS MAY WANT TO HELP BUT NOT KNOW HOW. THE SANDBOX'S WEEKEND OF BELIEVING ADDRESSES BOTH OF THESE CHALLENGES. IT PROVIDES A FUN WEEKEND FILLED WITH ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS, AND IT PAVES THE WAY FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS?AND EVEN STRANGERS?TO TAKE ON THE FINANCIAL COST FOR FAMILIES TO ATTEND THE WEEKEND. AND, IT ALLOWS FAMILIES TO BE IN COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO SHARE THEIR JOURNEYS, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND CELEBRATE JOY. THE WEEKEND OF BELIEVING IS A PRIME EXAMPLE THAT JOY AND THE MANY CHALLENGES OF THEIR CHILD?S DIAGNOSIS CAN COEXIST. OPERATION DRESS: IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE COMMUNITY VIA A FORMAL DRESS SALE. SO MANY DONATIONS ARE GIFTED TO US FOR FORMAL DRESSES AND THESE DRESSES COULD NOT BE USED FOR PROM, RATHER, THEY ARE BETTER SUITED FOR FUNDRAISING. THE EVENT CREATES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FELLOWSHIP AND SOCIALIZATION IN THE COMMUNITY WITH OUR FAMILIES, VOLUNTEERS, LEADERSHIP TEAM AND OUR HOST VENUE.
