Celebration of Life
About Celebration of Life
Each year, on a Sunday in late September or early October, The Periwinkle Foundation joins with the Texas Children's Cancer Center and the Renaissance Hotel to host long term cancer survivors and current patients with their families at Celebration of Life.
The event provides the families with an opportunity to gather together in an uplifting environment away from the hospital routine. They enjoy cake, cookies, punch, activities, and an inspirational speaker. One of the highlights of the party is the Camp Periwinkle slide show, where many of the children see themselves having a ball at camp.
Survivors share their stories of hope with those families currently experiencing cancer treatment or with those that are newly diagnosed. Approximately 200 children and adults attend this event and they truly celebrate life.
