CARRE, or Caring About Real Relationships Empathetically, is the heartbeat of The Sandbox.
Since 2011, we’ve walked beside families facing the unimaginable—navigating life with a child experiencing a life-altering illness. Along the way, we’ve encountered remarkable people—parents, caregivers, volunteers, partners—each committed to doing things that truly matter.
And we’ve learned something powerful: when people who care come together, impact multiplies.
The Sandbox has always been a space where connection meets compassion. As we look to the future, we’re building on our legacy of unforgettable, family-focused events—full of food, fun, and heartfelt moments—to create something even greater: a community-wide movement of impact-makers.
Our refreshed vision for CAARE blends the joy of togetherness with purpose-driven opportunities to uplift those who are making a difference—whether in big ways or small, seen or unseen.
Because When You Support Someone Doing Stuff That Matters, The Impact Compounds.
You’re invited. To join. To give. To show up. To be part of this growing, connected, legacy-rooted community of matter-makers.
The Sandbox is building something special. And it starts with people like you.
