Pediatric Oncology Events
Arts and crafts activities provide pediatric oncology patients with essential emotional outlets and stress relief during intensive treatment periods, helping them process complex feelings through creative expression. These therapeutic activities allow young patients to focus on creation and achievement rather than illness.

Palette of Life worked with Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital to host a Thanksgiving-themed event, spreading joy and creativity to the children there. Patients had a blast decorating turkeys and gnomes with the rich hues of autumn, while also getting the chance to personalize their very own squishies. This collaborative effort not only brought smiles to everyone's faces but also strengthened bonds within the community.
Palette of Life teamed up with Broward Health to create a fun time at Broward Health’s Sickle Cell Awareness Event. We brought in crafts and treats, letting patients design their own crowns or pirate hats and giving everyone a cute teddy bear to take home. It was awesome connecting with patients and other groups who share our mission, making the event even more special and supportive.
Palette of Life held a workshop at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, where Sarrinah and Aishwarya taught the patients how to make slime. It was a great experience where patients were allowed to choose beads, glitter, and clay to customize their own creations.
Palette of Life held a workshop at Palms West Hospital where Sarrinah led a calming journal decorating activity and played card games with patients. Patients doodled pictures and came up with ideas to make cook books or photo scrapbooks. It was a meaningful experience where patients had fun talking about their interests, like Super Mario Brothers and Disney Classics.
Palette of Life held an event at Broward Health Hospital where Kangana and Sarrinah went to many patients' rooms and made slime with them. This activity, along with increasing the patients' motor skills, brought a smile onto their faces as they played with and decorated their very own slime. Patients were also given an Easter egg that held a surprise plush bunny. The event achieved its goal in brightening up the patients' day and bringing a fresh vibe to their room. Through its creative nature, Palette of Life hosted a wondrous and joyous event.
Palette of Life's founders led a calming journal decorating activity at Broward Health Hospital. Patients doodled pictures and stories of friendship, building connections and promoting mental wellness. The activity was a creative and therapeutic way to spend time during recovery, thanks to the organization's commitment to uplifting hospital experiences.
Palette of Life also worked with therapy dogs to distribute goodie bags, including a special squishmallow for each patient. The organization also collected and distributed Valentine's Day cards made by students to family members and healthcare workers, spreading joy and appreciation to the community.
Palette of Life hosted a sensory workshop at Broward Health, bringing joy and therapeutic benefits to patients. Kangana and Sarrinah demonstrated how to make slime and let patients join in, promoting motor skills and bonding opportunities. Patients were engaged, laughing and creating together, reminding us of the power of human connection. The event highlighted the organization's commitment to bringing creativity and support to hospitals and the community. It was a heartwarming reminder of the positive impact that thoughtful and caring volunteers can have on those in need.
