Please join the Wyss/Campbell Center for Thoracic Insufficiency Syndrome on Saturday, May 9 at our 2026 Patient and Family Reunion at the Philadelphia Zoo! There will be plenty of fun, games and activities for children with thoracic insufficiency syndrome and their families, and time to reconnect with the medical team and meet new friends (both human and animal)!

We will host lunch and present patients with "Certificates of Achievement" in the Peacock Pavilion from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.

Come for the reunion, then stay and enjoy the Zoo – and all it has to offer – for the rest of the day.

Admission and parking are free for patient families who register by 5 p.m. Friday, May 1, 2026. *Parking is available onsite. When checking in at the event, families will receive a pass to use when exiting the garage.

We hope you’ll join us for this special annual event! Please RSVP by 5 p.m. on Friday, May 1, 2026.
