Get Involved

Together, we can help children and families shine – discover ways to get involved.

A Unique Opportunity to Impact a Child

At Zebra Crossings, we believe children with chronic medical conditions deserve a place to belong, explore, and shine. Our vision is to grow programs that reach more children and families across the region — offering experiences that build confidence, connection, and joy. You can get involved in this meaningful work as a sponsor, donor, volunteer, or event participant, helping shape a child’s journey and strengthening a community where no one stands alone.

 

Expanding the Dazzle Together

With your support and involvement, Zebra Crossings can bring even more opportunities to life for children and families, including:

Teen Programs – Adventures for ages 13–17 that foster independence, resilience, and empowerment.

Expanded Diagnosis – Specific Retreats & Camps — More retreats and camps designed for specific conditions — like epilepsy and allergies — so kids can connect with others who truly understand their experiences.

Family Support Groups & Retreats – Meaningful spaces where parents and siblings can share, recharge, and find encouragement while navigating the emotional challenges of chronic illness.

Leaders in Training (LIT) – A leadership track for teens with chronic health conditions who want to give back, grow their strengths, and be role models for others.

Virtual Programs – Engaging online opportunities that connect kids and families no matter where they’re located, helping us meet the needs of our community in more ways than ever.

When you get involved, you’re helping us expand the dazzle — giving more children with chronic medical conditions the chance to feel seen, supported, and empowered.

“Before camp my son was embarrassed to go to the nurse. He wouldn’t take meds before gym, and then tried to hide his asthma symptoms and chest/lung pain.” Since camp, my son has been willing to take albuterol before gym class, has been more confident and willing to participate in groups with active outdoor activities.”

- Asthma Camp Parent

“I am not sure there are many places where there are such kind, caring people.  It is also a place where others have chronic illnesses, some the same as yours.  It makes it a lot of fun to just talk and relate to someone that you can’t necessarily do at school.”

- Teen participant

“Zebra Crossings has given my children a power they never would have learned to unleash. Here, they feel accepted, encouraged and understood. They are taught that what they believe to be their inadequacies, can really be the fire that burns inside of them and makes them a stronger, more courageous, and joyous person. Truly, Zebra Crossings has changed our lives for the better.”

- Thaia Katsos

“Zebra Crossings is a fun place where you can go and feel safe because they understand how you feel. You get to express yourself and experience all kinds of things and nothing holds you back.”

- Luke, age 10

“It is an amazing experience to not feel alone in the world. To meet and share some wonderful kid stories has given me and my family so much hope for the future”

- Family Camp Parent
