Preview Night Partner

For 15 years, The Sandbox has been driven by one mission: Do Stuff That Matters, walking hand-in-hand with families whose children are facing cancer, life-altering illnesses, or terminal diagnoses. Through emotional support, social connection, and life-giving experiences, we create hope, joy, and memories that last a lifetime.

A portion of the funds or Proceeds raised through the Southern Christmas Show Preview Night will support two of our most heartfelt initiatives:

✨ HopeFULL Holiday: The Sandbox Staycation Christmas Experience ✨

A joyful holiday celebration for families whose child is battling cancer or a life-altering illness, filled with dinner, crafts, entertainment, and a magical movie under the stars. Families can even extend the magic with an overnight stay and donuts with Santa — creating cherished memories and moments of connection that last well beyond the holiday season.
