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.

Creating Inspirational Environments
Our collaboration continues at CHKD with the inspirational LET IT BE signage in The Benjamin Goldberg Playroom.
Benjamin Goldberg was 8 years old when he was treated at CHKD. One of his favorite songs, Let It Be by The Beatles gently reminds us to fully embrace all that encompasses the here and now.

The proceeds from the Benjamin Goldberg Golf Event will be dedicated to the new CHKD Mental Health Pavillion. The 13th floor multi-purpose room is a therapeutic treatment space designed with the unique social-emotional needs of children in mind. This space encourages the type of peer relating that can help propel a child through a difficult period of mental illness. CHKD coaches will use the multi-purpose spaces to facilitate social-emotional learning and the building of pro social peer relationships.

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. Currently, 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.
It is heartwarming to see the backpacks in the clinic where it all started for us—knowing the benefits of giving families normalcy when navigating the devastating world of childhood cancer. The CADD backpacks have already provided 224 days of treatment to the oncology patients at CHKD.
