GivingTuesday
December 1 is GivingTuesday, a day of global generosity that kicks off the Christmas season. This GivingTuesday we invite you to make a difference in the life of a grieving child by giving to Camp Cocoon on (or before) December 1.
We ease the burden.
Our children's bereavement camps, crisis grants for caregivers, and healthcare scholarships provide practical help and hope for families and healthcare professionals.
We Care
As a Christian organization, our Foundation lives up to its founding principles by caring for bereaved children, assisting caregivers in times of crisis, and supporting ongoing education in medical fields to continually enrich the lives of our employee partners and those in communities served by PruittHealth.
Camp Cocoon
“Camp Cocoon was a life-changing experience for my 2 boys who were 11 and 5 when their baby sister passed away shortly after her birth. The first year at camp they were really able to connect with other kids who were grieving and developed trusting relationships with their bereavement counselors. When they found out many of the friends they met would be returning the next year, they couldn’t wait to go back…”
Family Outreach Crisis Grants
“Recently, I had a [friend] miss numerous days from work due to her husband being sick and in and out of the hospital. She exhausted her PTO and when the utility bills became delinquent I suggested we contact the PruittCares Foundation to see if they could aid her in any way. Success!!!! PruittCares helped [my friend] get her utilities caught up. She is very thankful for PruittCares and the assistance given when needed.”
Healthcare Education Scholarships
“I would have to say that furthering my education has been the best thing that could have happened to me. I started out as an LPN in 2006. After working in a hospital for 3 years, I came to hospice. It was not until I had my eyes set upon the DHS job that I decided to try to get my RN. However, I had a lot of obstacles in my way. It took me awhile to get things lined up, but finally with the help of the PruittCares scholarship, I was able to go back to school and obtain my RN.”
It's easy to apply for services.
