The mission of Project Sunshine @ NYU is to provide services to children with long-term illnesses and disabilities along with their families in the New York City area. Project Sunshine strives to create programs that educate and entertain in order to give children and their families the opportunity to leave the monotony of treatment.

WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS DO YOU ORGANIZE?:

Project Sunshine @ NYU provides several on campus and off campus events for children such as the following:

~ Assemble arts and crafts kits for children.
