Vinny’s Kids, Inc. was founded in 2004 by Vinny Cherry, then 14 years old, to provide sick children with entertainment during their hospital stay. Inspired by his own experience while hospitalized at age 7,
Vinny hoped to make the experience less stressful for young patients.
Working through Child Life Services of the Pinnacle Health System, the program initially outfitted an activities room at the Harrisburg Hospital pediatric unit.
Since then, Vinny’s Kids has expanded its outreach to other organizations for children facing chronic or life-threatening illnesses, other hospital-based pediatric programs and special needs programs. Camp Victory, a network of camps for children with specialized medical needs, and Camp Echo, both of which draw chronically ill children from the Central Pennsylvania area are the most recent recipients.
The VK5K was created to support and raise awareness of Vinny’s Kids, Inc.’s programs.
