Since its inception in 1981, the Duke Children's Card Program has raised more than $1,200,000 for the kids at Duke! The proceeds generated from these cards support important programs like Camp Kaleidoscope, a summer camp for chronically ill children treated at Duke; research endeavors to help find new treatments and cures for illnesses; and many other important programs that improve the quality of life of the young patients undergoing treatment. Each card, designed by a school child or patient, represents the love and spirit of youth and sends a message that hope and joy reside in all people. This program is truly about children helping children.
