What Do We Do?

Carter's Foundation offers several meaningful programs for children facing cancer treatment or hospitalization in Southern California. The Toy Delivery Program delivers carefully selected toys, books, and games to hospitals, helping to ease stress and uplift spirits. Through the B.E.E. Strong Dream Room Program, we create calming, personalized environments in hospital rooms to provide a sense of comfort and peace. Our Carter's Video Game Cart brings the joy of gaming directly to patients with a mobile system designed for easy sanitation and fun. The Spotlight Kid Program celebrates the strength and resilience of children by delivering recognition packages and surprises to their homes. Finally, Parent Packs offer families much-needed toiletries and supplies during unexpected hospital stays. To learn more, visit the 'Our Work' section on our website.
