Tyler's Place Sibling Party


Tyler's Place is a unique area in the American Family Children's Hospital where siblings can interact with other brothers and sisters while their sibling is in the hospital.

Every April, CATCH hosts a themed party for Tyler's Place Siblings so that they have a fun day out of the hospital. Although this party is for Tyler's Place Siblings only, CATCH member volunteers needed.
