IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
After 9 years in operation Canopies for Kids has closed its’ doors. We are so deeply appreciative of all of you who participated and helped us touch the lives of thousands of sick children in the hospital over the years. We made a lot of friends along the way, and we thank you for the memories!

It was a fun ride, but as our lives and families grew we found ourselves having less time and energy to dedicate to to organization and its’ mission the way it deserved. With the arrival of COVID-19 and having a non existent season for 2020, it seemed like a fitting time to close shop. We will be converting this site to act as an aid and resource for any of those that want to re-create or carry on our mission. We also have a little remaining inventory we’d also be happy to off-load to any parties interested.

Again, thank you to all of you who participated and helped make a difference!

Blue Skies!

Canopies for Kids

Mission
Canopies for Kids was a 9 year project with the mission of providing children in hospitals with the support, courage, and hope they needed; by giving skydivers the opportunity to have their jumps make a difference for kids one canopy at a time.

We accomplished this by providing skydivers with special stuffed teddy bears to take along for their skydive. We used this experience to transform the bears into “The Bravest Stuffed Teddy Bears in the World” which we then give to sick children in hospitals.

The hope was that these special bears would help provide kids with the courage they needed in their fight ahead. Each bear came with a card containing a heartfelt message from the skydiver, and on top of that, $5 of every Canopies for Kids jump was donated to the hospital.
