Every kid has the right to be a kid.

That's why Special Love gives children and young adults with cancer and their families a chance to enjoy normal childhood activities that healthy kids often take for granted. From week-long camps, like Camp Fantastic and BRASS Camp (for siblings), to weekend retreats for families, teens, and young adults, Special Love's programs represent a community of support that shows kids with cancer and their families that they are not alone

 

You can join our community of support -- here's how: check out our Spring 2012 LoveLetter, view our 2012 Calendar of Events, Volunteer, sign up for our email list, or make a donation.

 

Our programs are held throughout the year at fully-modernized facilities in the Greater Washington, DC area. Check out our programs for Patients & Survivors, Siblings, and Families by using on the menu above.

    Special Love's mission is to provide "support services" to children with cancer and their families. Some of those services we can provide directly -- scholarships, transportation to camp, etc -- and some, perhaps the most important, require that we get out-of-the-way and let inspirational people share who they are with people who need inspiration.
