Jillian’s Rey Foundation and Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation donate 150 interactive bed sheets and distraction items to patients at Duke Children’s.
RALEIGH, NC, UNITED STATES, September 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — DURHAM, N.C. — In a collaborative effort to bring comfort, joy, and therapeutic play to young patients facing health battles, the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation has partnered with the Jillian’s Rey Foundation to deliver 150 Playtime Therapy Bed Sheets, Playtime Disposables, and supplemental distraction items to Duke Children’s Hospital.
Honoring the spirit and legacy of Jillian-Rey, the Jillian’s Rey Foundation is dedicated to bringing light, warmth, and hope to pediatric cancer warriors and their families. Through dedicated funding for vital pediatric cancer research, hands-on patient comfort programs, and community-wide initiatives—such as the annual Jillian’s Rey Memorial Golf Tournament—the organization works tirelessly to sprinkle sunshine into the lives of children undergoing intensive medical treatment.
Pediatric hospital stays can be overwhelming, isolating, and frightening for young patients. Playtime Therapy Bed Sheets magically transform standard, sterile hospital beds into vibrant, interactive activity centers with dozens of games, puzzles, mazes, and educational challenges built into the fabric. By integrating specialized distraction items with the sheets, the initiative gives pediatric patients an immediate emotional escape, helping lower anxiety, relieve stress, and support child life specialists during procedures and extended treatments.
“On behalf of the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to the Jillian’s Rey Foundation for letting us join the fight to bring a true Rey of Hope for a cure,” said Kevin Gatlin, Founder of Playtime Edventures and the Playtime Therapy Sheets Foundation. “Partnering to be part of Jillian-Rey’s legacy and watching this community unite to assemble and deliver these sheets to Duke Children’s Hospital is what our mission is all about. When a child is in a hospital bed, play is a vital part of healing.”
Dedicated community volunteers and foundation supporters assembled and prepared 150 Playtime Therapy Bed Sheets and Playtime Disposables before delivering them to the pediatric units at Duke Children’s Hospital under the direction of the child life teams.
Through this initiative, both organizations aim to establish consistent therapeutic support for children undergoing inpatient care, ensuring each patient has access to positive distraction tools that restore a sense of normalcy and play during difficult treatment cycles.
