Companions in Courage
http://companionsincourage.org
"No child in the fight for life or health should ever have to go through it alone. The Companions In Courage Foundation is here to give courage, friendship and compassion to those children and families faced with overcoming illness and life-threatening obstacles."
So reads the mission statement for the Companions In Courage Foundation, an organization founded in 2001 by hockey great Pat LaFontaine. The inspiration for this charitable organization came from all the children Pat met in children's hospitals throughout North America during his 15-year NHL career.
Working in conjunction with corporate sponsors, Companions In Courage has established an initial goal of creating interactive playrooms in children's hospitals throughout North America. CiC's goal is to take infirmed children psychologically out of the often isolating hospital experience via a host of innovative communications tools and experiences. These tools will enable children and caregivers to make connections, play games, share experiences, and uniquely enrich their time spent in the hospital.
"Through innovative communications tools, these playrooms will replace the isolation of a hospital with a connection to family, friends and celebrities during their hospital stay," LaFontaine said.
About the Foundation
In 2001, Warner Books published LaFontaine's book, "Companions In Courage - Triumphant Tales of Heroic Athletes." Unlike traditional sports hero memoirs this book features the heroic stories of athletes who have served as inspiration. Pat has donated proceeds from the sale of the book to the CiC Foundation, and he is participating in many other fund-raising activities to raise money and awareness. The first children's hospitals to be fitted with "CiC Rooms" will be in Los Angeles and Buffalo.
