Holiday and All-Occasion Card Program
Since its inception, the Duke Children's Card Program has raised more than $1,500,000 for the kids at Duke! Proceeds support programs like Camp Kaleidoscope, a summer camp for children treated at Duke; research endeavors to help find new 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.
