Youth Rally

SUPPORT A CAUSE AT CONFERENCE!

​

Organizational Mission: To provide an environment for adolescents living with conditions of the bowel and bladder that encourages self-confidence and independent living.

​

For over 40 years, the New England Region of Wound Ostomy and Continence nurses have supported adolescents between the ages of 11-17 years of age who are living with conditions of the bowel and bladder. These youths have ostomies, inflammatory bowel disease, or urinary or fecal incontinence. The campers participate in a five-night one-of-a-kind experience called Youth Rally. The camp is held at university campuses throughout the United States in July. It is a life enriching experience for these kids to be among other children with diversions and similar health conditions.

 

SILENT AUCTION AT FALL CONFERENCE!

​

Each year during our Fall Conference, a silent auction is held and 100% of proceeds are donated to the Youth Rally Organization.  Youth Rally uses the funds to support campers with scholarships and transportation assistance.
