Family fun events connect Wonders & Worries families with others in similar circumstances and provide opportunities to connect with the Wonders & Worries team. We have four regularly scheduled Family Fun Events each year free of charge – our Hoping Hearts Party, the Ice Cream Social, Bat Kruise, and Festifall.

Thanks to the generosity of other community organizations, we are also happy to offer free tickets to various community events. We would like to thank Texas Oncology for its wonderful support of all of our Family Fun Events. The cost of our four annual Family Fun Events is also underwritten by individuals and corporations in our community. Volunteers and donors are invited to participate in sponsoring these important activities.
