Camp Sunshine

Supporting children with life threatening illnesses and their families

Nestled alongside the shores of beautiful Sebago Lake, Camp Sunshine provides respite, support, joy, and hope to children with life-threatening illnesses and their immediate families through various stages of a child’s illness. The year-round program is free of charge to all families, and includes 24-hour onsite medical and psychosocial support. Bereavement groups are also offered for families who have lost a child to an illness.

Raynaud's Disease Is More Than Cold Hands and Feet

At this time of the year, we frequently see people who complain of problems tolerating cold weather. Many of these complaints are related to a dislike of the cold, but others might be associated to a medical problem.

2008 "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" Walks

It's that time of year again to gear up for our "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" walks. The "Stepping Out" walks were started five years ago. The purpose of them is to involve the Foundation’s network of chapters and support groups to get involved in a uniform cause of raising both money and awareness of scleroderma and the Foundation.

Check our schedule often to find the walk nearest you. Our first walk is scheduled for March 1 in Baton Rouge, La.
