Caregiver Connect, formerly Comfort Connection, is a time for caregivers of an oncology child to connect with others that share that experience. All caregivers are welcome to attend, regardless of treatment outcome of the child. The evening events are casual and community organically builds over conversation while sharing a meal or doing something fun together. The location and activities change each time! Dates are noted below. Event details to come!

Email [email protected] with questions. Depending on the location of the event, childcare may be offered at the CCC office.
