The name Periwinkle comes from the perennial Vinca minor, a plant which is used to make vincristine, a chemotherapy agent.

 

Welcome to The Periwinkle Foundation!

The Periwinkle Foundation develops and provides programs that positively change the lives of children, young adults and families who are challenged by cancer and other life threatening illnesses and are cared for at Texas Children's Hospital. 

Each year more than 4,000 children are touched by Periwinkle programs Camp Periwinkle, Camp YOLO, Family Camp, the Long Term Survivor Program and the Arts & Creative Writing Program which culminates each year in a traveling exhibition of art by children touched by cancer and blood disorders.  Through camping, recreational and arts programming, The Periwinkle Foundation provides opportunities for these special children and their families to heal emotionally, lead fuller lives and become stronger survivors.  With the generous help of our friends and supporters in the community, The Periwinkle Foundation changes lives for life.
