BECAUSE SIBLINGS SHINE TOO
"Having a sibling with a disability teaches you poise, compassion and strength, but it also comes with a cost.” -Elina Merchencko
At CC4C, we believe every child deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and included. That’s why our Sibling Adventures program creates intentional time for the often-overlooked heroes of the rare disease journey—brothers and sisters. These special outings are hosted twice a year and give siblings and parents a chance to step away from medical routines, enjoy a day of fun, and build great memories together.

CC4C celebrated our incredible Rare Siblings with an afternoon of fun at Urban Air! It was a special time for siblings to be reminded that they are seen, valued, and never forgotten.
Why It Matters
When a child has a rare or undiagnosed condition, parents often face overwhelming demands that can unintentionally shift attention away from siblings. Sibling Adventures helps restore balance by:
-
Strengthening Family Bonds: Creating quality time for parents and siblings to connect.
-
Honoring Siblings: Recognizing their unique role and the challenges they face with love and celebration.
-
Reducing Stress: Offering families a much-needed break from daily routines.
-
Building Confidence and Belonging: Helping siblings know they are valued, supported, and part of a larger CC4C family.
More Than a Day of Fun
Whether it’s a day at the ballpark, an outing to a local attraction, or a creative adventure designed for all ages, these experiences are filled with laughter and connection.
Sibling Adventures remind families that healing happens together, and that every member of the family deserves time to thrive.
