Dunkin’ Prom season continued at @comerchildrens in Chicago with an afternoon full of dancing, smiles, and fun Dunkin’ swag. 🕺🏼

At Comer Children’s, teen patients even help plan the prom through the hospital’s Teen Advisory Board (TAB), making the celebration even more meaningful.

We’re grateful to help create moments of joy and celebrate patients with a prom they’ll always remember. ✨ by @joyinchildhood

What a magical afternoon we shared at this year’s “Dunkin’ Prom Presents Enchanted Oasis” made possible by a generous $45,000 grant from the @dunkin @joyinchildhood Foundation!

Our 18th annual #prom brought together #ElizabethSetonChildrensCenter’s extraordinary teens and young adults, along with their families and caregivers, for an unforgettable celebration where every promgoer was truly the star of the show.

From dancing and live performances to photo opportunities and delicious treats generously provided by our Dunkin’ partners, the afternoon was filled with joy, laughter and memories that will last a lifetime.

Thank you, Dunkin’, for helping make prom dreams come true year after year and for bringing so much happiness to the remarkable young people in our care!

For Victor Carvalho, the Joy In Childhood Foundation has always been about creating moments that stay with you long after they happen.

As a Dunkin’ Franchisee and our Board Co-Chair, Victor has spent more than a decade helping bring meaningful moments to children and families through programs that celebrate milestones, provide comfort, and strengthen communities. He believes the Foundation’s future is bright - and that continued momentum means more programs, more support, and more opportunities to #BringJoy.

Thank you, Victor, for believing in our mission and helping it grow year after year. 🧡 by @joyinchildhood

Take a walk down memory lane and check out some fun that was had at our annual hospital prom hosted by Dunkin’ Joy @joyinchildhood ! Each year, our teen and young adult patients get a night to spend with their peers dressing up, singing and dancing, and enjoying speciality drinks and treats from Dunkin’ Donuts! 🍩 This year, they also got to win prizes and enjoy performances by breakdancers and drummers! We look forward to this special night every year. We are so thankful for Sandi Zager @thesandiz for helping to make this vision come to life.

Special thanks to all CHAM staff, senior CCLS Katie Roche, the child life team, and all the volunteers for making this night a success. Thanks to all below for providing dresses, suits, accessories, swag bags, activities, and more. Until next year!

Another Dunkin’ Prom in the books - and this one was one for the ages. ✨🧡

Teens living with chronic illness at @hasbrochildrens stepped into a Roaring 20’s Casino Royale-themed prom filled with dancing, live entertainment, mock casino games, and photo booth fun.

From first-time attendees to returning graduates of The Adolescent Leadership Council (TALC), the evening brought together patients, families, volunteers, and caregivers for a truly special night. We’re proud to help make moments like these possible! by @joyinchildhood

Today - and every day - we celebrate the heart of our mission: pure JOY 🧡 It’s what brings us together, and what we work to create every day for kids and families through meaningful, lasting support.

For 20 years, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has brought the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness - because every child deserves moments of happiness, hope, and normalcy. What started as a simple idea has grown into a nationwide effort powered by the generosity of @dunkin franchisees, partners, employees, and guests.

Thank you for helping make our mission possible and for creating brighter days ahead. #NationalDayOfJoy by @joyinchildhood
