Sesame Workshop is stepping up to help families cope with challenges, both big and small. Because with the right support from caring adults, children can face any challenge that comes their way. Our philanthropically-funded initiatives meet some of the most urgent needs faced by today’s children, families, and caregivers – and we can’t do it without the generous support of partners and friends like you.

Join us on May 31, 2023 to learn more and help create sunnier days for children everywhere.
