Membership

We welcome and invite parents, caregivers, medical professionals and all interested parties to become PPCC members. The cost is minimal – $25 – but it will help us continue to further our mission of providing resources such as our Lightning Bug App, PPCC Toolkits, Care Plan Book, Firefly Chats and conferences for families, volunteers and medical professionals caring for children with life-limiting illnesses.
