The Benjamin Goldberg Playroom sees over 3,500 hematology/oncology patients a year and covers costs related to integrated medicine programming where children can experience the restorative nature of music and art therapy, dance, yoga, and guided meditation.
Child life specialists and creative arts therapists can help children find peace where they are free to explore and create in a space that is all their own.

In 2019, we completed our first project raising $20,000 for a home treatment option for children receiving immunotherapy infusions in their fight against leukemia. Children receiving this treatment must spend 28 days in the hospital to receive continuous infusions. However, CADD infusion backpacks allow a child to receive drug therapy in the comfort of their own home.
Giving families normalcy when navigating the devastating world of childhood cancer, the backpacks provide over 224 days of treatment to the oncology patients at CHKD each year.
