Caitlin’s Smiles is a program to help children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses by giving them
hope, laughs and smiles. Caitlin’s Smiles was originally founded under the umbrella of PECAN, Inc.
(Progressive Education of Children in the Arts Network). It is now a separate nonprofit 501© organization.

Our funds come from grants, community and civic groups, businesses, manufacturers, special events,
churches, schools and private donations. We do not use telemarketers.

Our mission is quite simply to put smiles on the faces of children facing chronic or life-threatening
illnesses by encouraging them to focus upon creative arts activities to boost their self-confidence and self-worth.

Caitlin’s Smiles recognizes that creativity is vital to a child’s normal growth and development. The
Creative Arts Care Program recognizes the children as unique individuals and strives to heighten their feelings
of self-worth and competency by providing them with opportunities to be creative and successful with a variety
of creative art experiences.

For more information on Caitlin’s Smiles and how you can help visit
their website at www.caitlins-smiles.org or call (717) 921-8585.

"The Stampede" is now online!

The Stampede, the Dare2Dance.Net periodical newsletter, is now available online using the web site! In the past, I've e-mailed the newsletter to our readers. But with so much interest in what Dare2Dance has been doing, it's gotten to be a big job to e-mail it to so many interested people!! What a great problem to have!!
