Anniversary

25 Years of Heart and Humanity
Where Imagination Leads Us Forward.

Join us in San Francisco for an unforgettable evening of cocktails, culinary delights, and a powerful tribute to 25 years of heart and humanity.

Together, we’ll honor the champions who shaped CoachArt’s story and look ahead to the future we’re building — one where every child facing serious illness has the chance to create, connect, and thrive.
 

Your support fuels what comes next, expanding CoachArt’s impact and bringing more moments of joy, creativity, and connection to kids and families who need it most.

25 Years of Bringing Joy and Possibility
to Kids Facing Serious Illness

25th Anniversary Circle Text_White.png

Illness interrupts childhood. CoachArt restores it.

Our mission is to bring joy and possibility to every child impacted by serious illness.

CoachArt connects kids with serious illnesses with caring mentors for free adaptive arts, athletics, and STEM lessons. Since 2001, we’ve brought joy and possibility to thousands of kids and their families across the country. After expanding nationwide in 2022, our impact in New York has steadily grown, with local families participating in nearly 1,000 hours of lessons this past year.
