• Provide medical devices and equipment often needed, but not covered by insurance
• Assist families with life essentials such as food and gas when their child is in the hospital • Assist families with funeral expenses Sophie’s Place, TTFF’s mobile music therapy program, in partnership with the Forever Young Foundation and Wells Fargo brings music to children who are homebound or patients in Northern California hospitals and hospice homes. Join us to celebrate 26 years of giving at our annual Day in the Park auction fundraiser Sunday, August 28th at Camp Arroyo in Livermore. Proceeds from the event will allow TTFF to continue its Mission to preserve the wellness and enhance the quality of life for children in Northern California living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, and youth at-risk through unique therapeutic experiences and support.

It’s a dream land in real life, where illness and everyday fears are checked at the front gate, and kids get to simply be kids. Barry Taylor’s passion and legacy live on through this extraordinary foundation that serves to strengthen bonds, facilitate connections and build entirely new communities for young individuals and their families, who lead such remarkable lifestyles.
