Welcome!

We’re For a Day Foundation and we’re thrilled to meet you! For 20 years, we’ve been quietly serving kids with cancer and other serious illnesses with quality of life programs throughout the US - over 8,000 of them, in fact! Specifically, we host parties in hospital playrooms, like Queen for a Day & Hero for a Day, to bring a little piece of childhood directly to the hospital playroom.

We understand that long hospital stays are lonely, stressful, and emotionally draining.

That’s where we come in.

In pre-Covid times, we’d host themed parties in hospital playrooms. For a couple hours, we’re there to treat your child with play and laughter and smiles. Maybe even a little dancing or ‘flying!’ From mini makeovers with Almay cosmetics, kid-friendly nail polish, tiaras and boas, to superhero feats in capes and masks and pirates and fairies, we aim to distract, cheer up, and support.

In the current Covid situation, we are sending KiwiCo kits to our partner facilities to distribute to patients and working directly with families to arrange precious family time together. We’re planning birthday parties, days at the zoo, family movie night at home, glow-in-the-dark pizza night, and hospital room decorations.
