The Buddee Bag Program is a way to create smiles for children and allow them to focus on something other than their disabilities and health challenges. The Buddee bags are given to kids receiving treatment such as dialysis or facing a chronic illness, an extended stay at the hospital and essentials for the adaptive biking program and social engagements. We originally offered Buddee Bags to children just at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, but we have quickly come to find that the need is present across all of the programs and services we offer.
