CoachArt’s mission is to bring joy and possibility to every child impacted by serious illness. Children living with serious illnesses may feel isolated because of their conditions. Frequent hospital visits and deficient immune systems often cause them to miss time in school and recreational activities. Families, overwhelmed by the cost and demands of ongoing medical care, often lack the resources to seek out or afford extracurricular activities. Healthy siblings are affected too when family resources are focused on a seriously ill child. CoachArt supports these families by offering free recreational lessons that bring a sense of normalcy back into their lives. Since 2001, CoachArt has connected kids with serious illnesses and their siblings with caring mentors for free adaptive arts, athletics, and STEM lessons. Our vision is a world where every child impacted by serious illness can create, connect, and thrive.
