Project Sunshine provides programs that educate and entertain children facing medical challenges. Together, volunteers will offer creative craft activities, entertainment, face painting, prizes and games for children of all ages to provide relief from the stress and monotony of treatment

Since beginning its relationship with Project Sunshine in 2010, more than 13,200 UnitedHealth Group volunteers have created 63,000 Arts and Crafts Kits, and 18,300 Sunny Grams for pediatric patients across the country. These dynamic volunteers have supported more than 23,000 children and their families. UnitedHealthcare and the Dallas Cowboys have been in partnership since 2011 to raise awareness of the benefits of healthy living and preventing chronic diseases.
