Our Programs

The Two Four Club

The Ryan Callahan Foundation is proud to offer The Two Four Club, a program to provide financial assistance and respite to families who inspire us every day with their resilience, hope, and determination. Our RCF families have shown us that one of the greatest struggles throughout treatment and healing is having moments of peace and camaraderie with each other. The goal of the program is to give families an opportunity to have time together to create memories that uplift their spirits, without creating financial strain.

Our greatest hope is to support pediatric cancer families, to help families tell their unique stories, and to help educate others on how a family is affected by pediatric cancer. Families battling pediatric cancer who wish to be considered for selection should complete the following form. Upon submission, applicants will receive an email regarding additional information needed. The application should be completed by a parent or guardian. Please know that by submitting an application you agree to allow the Ryan Callahan Foundation to use your family’s first names, photos, and general diagnosis information on our social media accounts and website. Financial assistance is up to the discretion of the Ryan Callahan Foundation and is distributed on a case by case basis.

Cally's Crew

We are thrilled to bring back our Cally’s Crew suite for the 2023-2024 Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey Season.

During select regular season home games, the foundation uses this VIP experience to bring together families with similar struggles to strength a sense of community in the isolated world of pediatric cancer.

Cally Comforts

A program that has evolved based on the feedback and essential needs of our families. Cally’s Comforts provides thoughtfully curated comfort bags filled with personal care essentials, cozy blankets, socks, phone chargers, puzzle books, and other comforting items to support families during unexpected hospital stays. These bags offer both practical relief and emotional comfort when it’s needed most.

Courageously Overcoming Personal Experiences

Courageously Overcoming Personal Experiences led by licensed mental health therapist Robin Lutz, is a heartfelt program designed to provide emotional support to families at every stage of their journey. Whether facing an initial diagnosis, navigating the prolonged challenges of treatment, processing post-traumatic stress, or enduring the deep pain of loss, this program creates a safe space for healing and connection. One-on-one sessions are available upon request for families in the midst of their fight, offering personalized care and understanding. In addition, bereavement sessions are held every 4 to 6 weeks, bringing together a remarkable group of parents who support one another through the complex and ongoing process of grief.
