Our team creates tailored packages for patients. No two patient packages are the same and include special for not only the patient but for the entire family. Some include crafts, activities and snacks while others include books, blankets, clothes and other necessities. While the gifts are small in size, we know they have a big impact on the patient families.
We are working through the many Patient Pack requests we have received. Due to a large influx of submissions, we can no longer accept any new applications until April 2022.
Part of our mission at Sky High is to provide comfort for children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Each year, hundreds of children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House Memphis and Texas Children’s Cancer Center receive a warm, fuzzy blanket that was hand-tied by volunteers just like you! If your group is interested in hosting a Tie for Sky High event, please contact pr@skyhighforkids.org

FRESHWATER FISHING IN TOLEDO BEND
When a storm cancelled the Pollock family’s Adventure Trip to Louisiana, Jim Franklin and Stephen Johnston (Johnston’s Guide Service) stepped up to save the day. With less than two weeks’ notice, Jim secured accommodations, two days of fishing, and even cleared his personal schedule to join the trip. In fact, he prepared dinner for the family each night! Although this was not the original plan, the Pollocks spent a memorable few days catching fish, playing games, and spending quality time with each other. The trip lined up perfectly with Hunter’s 10th birthday and served as a welcome distraction from an upcoming surgery. Thank you, Jim Franklin, for a wonderful time in Toledo Bend. It was a trip the Pollocks will never forget!
