Support organization

A Kid Again

A Kid Again provides year-round Adventures at amusement parks, sports venues, zoos, museums, waterparks, entertainment venues, and holiday events for families raising a child with a life-threatening condition. Cancer is expressly included, but the Medical Advisory Committee must approve each child’s diagnosis; official pages generally say the child must be under 20. Admission, parking, food, and event-specific benefits are provided at no cost to the enrolled child and qualifying immediate family, and many events include a child memento or gifts. Families anywhere in the United States may use the public enrollment form, but in-person events occur only in listed markets and the organization does not pay transportation or travel reimbursement. After enrollment, event registration arrives by email or a private chapter group and individual events may have deadlines, lotteries, and limited capacity.
