Who are CC4C Children?

Our children have a wide range of rare and/or undiagnosed conditions. Challenges may be physical, cognitive, or both but there are almost always emotional impacts as well. Children with chronic illness often feel "different". Medical conditions may mean kids have restricted activities, feel overprotected, deal with difficulties at school, and feel socially isolated.

Year after year, our kids report feeling

happier and more confident as a

result of their relationship with

a Dream Team.

How Does it Work?

Teams are matched with a child based on shared interests.
The match is a 2-year commitment and must have an
adult team-lead.

Each team-lead has an orientation phone call with CC4C
staff to brainstorm their team’s activity ideas.
Teams host at least 2 activities per school year for their child.

CC4C staff will attend and facilitate the team’s initial introduction to their CC4C child in September.

CC4C checks in with teams throughout the year to see how
things are going. We are ALWAYS available for question

The child’s parent(s) will always be present when the team is interacting with the child. These are always group activities and there are never one-on-one interactions.
