All proceeds fund ICU Comfort Bags for partner hospitals
A fun evening of casino-style games, community connection, and real impact. You don’t have to know a thing about blackjack to walk in and make a difference. Come for the games, stay because you care.
Every bag delivered, every seminar hosted, every evening spent building community is a direct act of support for a family navigating the hardest chapter of their lives. This page is a living record of that work and it grows with us.
Cheyne’s Brain Foundation has delivered comfort bags to families at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. We are actively expanding to additional San Diego-area hospitals.
Our first official hospital delivery brought ICU Comfort Bags directly to families of traumatic brain injury patients at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, a Level I Trauma Center in San Diego. Distributed through the hospital’s trauma social work team, each bag reached a family in the earliest, most disorienting hours of their crisis.
The response stopped us in our tracks.

“The notebook to write questions and my thoughts down was awesome especially since it’s hard to put my thoughts together.”

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive. As a Trauma Social Worker I understand the importance of taking care of the family’s emotional and physical needs and these comfort bags do exactly that.”
