Sky High is dedicated to providing comfort to our Cancer Warrior families. That’s why we’ve curated a comprehensive collection of resources to support you every step of the way. From practical information to emotional support, we’re here to help empower and uplift your family during this time. Explore our resources and know that you’re not alone on this journey.
CANCER WARRIOR PACKS
Providing Comfort
Our team creates tailored packages for children fighting cancer. No two warrior packages are the same and include special gifts for not only the child, but for the entire family. The packages include items such as arts and crafts, pajamas, toys and gift cards for essential needs. While the gifts are small in size, we know they have a big impact on the families.

SUPER BOWL LVII
Cancer Warrior, Colton, his 2 brothers, mom, and dad were all able to experience Super Bowl LVII live in person in Glendale Arizona. They were also able to experience a resort stay while being chauffeured around the city for NFL player meet and greets and Fan Fest activites! Colton and the family were able to see some of their favorite athletes and were treated to the VIP pregame experience, with food, drinks, games and a concert! Thank you to all who supported Colton fulfilling his dream and being able to have his brothers right beside him to take in the unforgettable experience.

Kennedy’s story did not start on the day he was born, his story started long before he became the warrior we all know today. Kennedy was the only embryo that made it through the first round of his IVF, his life was already planned with a purpose we did not yet understand.

TESTIMONIES FROM OUR CANCER WARRIOR FAMILIES:
“Our family now feels like part of theirs.”
“I wish these women didn’t have to raise money for this cause. I wish Pediatric Cancer didn’t exist. Unfortunately, it does. Thankfully, these nonprofit ninjas are Pediatric Cancer game changers and our family now feels like part of theirs. We can’t say enough about Sky High’s impact in the community.” -Erin, mom for former Texas Children’s Hospital patient, Crew
“They brought smiles to our faces when we thought that was impossible”
When our daughter Payton was diagnosed with lymphoma, we connected with the team at Sky High for Kids on a level that we never thought imaginable. Brittany and her team walked with us through the toughest two and a half years of our lives, which included chemotherapy, countless procedures and numerous inpatient hospital stays. They comforted us, cried with us, prayed with us, and they brought smiles to our faces when we thought that was impossible. We are forever grateful for Sky High and the hundreds of volunteers who share the passion for saving kids who battle cancer. Sky High will always be a part of our family. -Laura Angelle, mom of former Texas Childpren’s Hospital patient, Payton
“We are their family and they are a part of ours forever.”
“I wish Sky High for Kids didn’t have to fight for Childhood Cancer alongside families due to the lack of government funding, but they do and do it gracefully. So much blood, sweat and tears are put into their mission and as a childhood brain cancer family, we are forever grateful for their impact. We are their family and they are a part of ours forever.” – Christina, mom of Texas Children’s Hospital patient, Kennedy Crue
Honoring Giavanna Gardella Forever
After Giavanna Gardella earned her angel wings after losing her battle to Childhood Cancer, her parents decided that in lieu of flowers, they wanted friends and family to donate to Sky High instead to find a cure. The Gardella Family helped raise over $80,000 for our mission.
“You have brought me and my family some comfort…just just being a part of our lives.”
“This weekend my son was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma at Texas Children’s hospital. Once they moved us out of ICU onto the 7th floor oncology wing, the first thing I saw was the familiar and comforting logo of Sky High for Kids on the entrance to the family lounge. My son who donated during the live stream we did together under the name “Joe Exotic Durst” recognized it too, and laughed for the first time in days at the memory. I just wanted you to know that you have brought me and my family some comfort, both through the volunteer and donation services we have been taking advantage of, and in just being a part of our lives.”
