Sunrise on Wheels
Make a BIG Difference in just a few Hours Per Week
Sunrise on Wheels is an innovative initiative that provides children with fun-filled Sunrise excitement while awaiting and undergoing treatment in pediatric oncology units at participating hospitals. Siblings and parents are always welcome and encouraged to participate.
Caring and dedicated staff and volunteers happily wheel a rainbow-colored trunk bursting with toys, games, crafts and activities right into our affiliated hospitals, transforming what can often be a difficult and scary day into a day of magical camp-like fun!
The Wheels team complements hospital staff by engaging patients in one-on-one activities and fun. At the same time, they are ensuring that siblings feel recognized and important, and offer a much-needed break to moms, dads and caretakers.
Sunrise on Wheels is hosted at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC and Inova Hospital in Fairfax, VA.
The volunteer time commitment is:
Children’s National Hospital – Mondays from 10am-1pm
Inova Hospital – Tuesdays from 9am-1pm
To learn more about the program and express interest in volunteering, reach out to Sunrise Day Camp Assistant Director, Ilana Adler via email or at 703.537.3053.
