Sun Stoppers and Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation make 100 camp comfort kits for pediatric patients

Sun Stoppers owner Mike Burke teamed with the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation and Camp Care staff at Levine Children’s Hospital to assemble 100 slumber bag kits for children with chronic illness and cancer. The kits are set to go to pediatric patients attending Camp Care in August, adding comfort items, play tools and sleep support to the camp experience.

Why it matters: - The partnership targets a specific gap for pediatric patients: comfort and distraction during rest periods away from home and the hospital. - The 100 kits are built for children with chronic illness and cancer attending Camp Care in August. - The effort shows how local companies can deliver direct, tangible support without a large national CSR program.

What happened: - Sun Stoppers owner Mike Burke partnered with the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation and Camp Care medical staff at Levine Children’s Hospital this week. - The teams assembled and funded 100 Playtime Slumber Bag and Story-time Pillowcase kits. - The kits will be distributed directly to pediatric patients attending Camp Care in August.

The details: - Each Slumber Bag comes from Playtime Edventures and includes more than 35 interactive fabric games and activities. - The designs include soccer goals and tic-tac-toe layouts to encourage play and visual distraction. - Each kit also includes a Story-time Pillowcase with a “Once Upon A Time...” story starter printed on the fabric. - Sun Stoppers added custom T-shirts for campers. - The kits include noise-canceling earplugs for shared cabins and rest periods. - The kits include crayons and mini activity books for daytime creativity. - The kits include mini plush companion animals for emotional support during clinical check-ins. - The kits include full-body hygiene wipes for on-site care. - The kits include rain ponchos and high-grade sunglasses for outdoor protection. - The kits include mini toothpaste and toothbrushes for dental care routines. - The media contact listed in the release is Public Relations Desk at Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation, media@playtime-therapy-sheets-foundation.org. - The release also lists Kevin Gatlin of Playtime Edventures at +1 704-806-5692. - The release includes social links on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Between the lines: - Burke framed the effort as hands-on community support rather than a checkbox exercise. - The collaboration blends Sun Stoppers’ local presence with Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation’s pediatric comfort products. - The approach centers on direct-to-patient help, which makes the impact easier to measure than broad charity messaging.

What's next: - The 100 comfort kits are scheduled to reach Camp Care pediatric patients in August. - The release positions the partnership as a model for future grassroots corporate giving.

The bottom line: - Sun Stoppers and the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation are turning a charity headline into a practical camp-ready package for 100 vulnerable children.
