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,
