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. Each month, we will select a family to receive needs-based financial assistance and/or a vacation experience that gives them the gift of time together.

 

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

Cally’s Comforts is a program designed to provide in-home personal services such as hair cuts, manicures and pedicures, and spa treatments, as well as dinner and comfort baskets to families battling pediatric cancer. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, families with children currently or recently undergoing cancer treatments often are not comfortable leaving the home for non-essential activities such as hair cuts, nail services, and massages. However, these services go a long way towards providing a respite for parents and a sense of confidence for the children. 

 

All participating service providers are Covid tested prior to every home visit, and all safety protocols are followed to protect the health and safety of everyone involved. The Cally’s Comforts program currently operates in both the Tampa, FL and Rochester, NY areas. Our many thanks go out to the service providers below who participate in the Cally’s Comforts program. Family sponsorships are available for this program, and anyone interested in sponsoring a family should fill out our Contact form to get in touch.
