A Buddy Bag is a thoughtfully curated rolling suitcase given to pediatric cancer patients during overnight hospital stays, filled with essential, comfort, and entertainment items to support both the child and families transition into care.
Recognizing that cancer impacts the entire family, this signature WOKC program offers thoughtfully designed, no-cost events throughout the year that foster connection, joy, and emotional renewal.
