Keeping Kids Connected iPad

Connection matters, especially during treatment.

The Keeping Kids Connected Program provides qualifying pediatric cancer patients with a brandnew Apple iPad at no cost to their family. During hospital stays, treatment, recovery, or periods of isolation, an iPad can help children communicate with parents, siblings, grandparents, classmates, teachers, and friends.

It can also support schoolwork, virtual learning, entertainment, and everyday activities that help a child feel connected to life outside of treatment. By helping reduce isolation and maintain important relationships, the program supports both emotional well-being and educational continuity.

Provided 100% free to eligible children and families.

Birthday & Celebration Boxes

Making important milestones feel special.

Cancer treatment can change the way a family celebrates, but important moments still deserve to be recognized. CLF4Kids Birthday Boxes help children celebrate their special day during treatment with festive items that bring the celebration to them.

Celebration Boxes recognize the end of treatment and the beginning of a new chapter. Each package includes meaningful keepsakes and celebratory items that honor the child's strength, perseverance, and achievement.

Both programs are provided 100% free to eligible children and families.
