Hot Dog Cool Cat Contest is raising funds for the Sunshine Kids Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to children with cancer. Established in 1982, the SSK Foundation is committed to providing positive group activities and emotional support for young cancer patients. The Sunshine Kids provides a variety of programs and events, free of charge, for kids who are receiving cancer treatments in hospitals across North America.

Prudential Real Estate Affiliates adopted The Sunshine Kids Foundation as their network charity in 1991. Prudential Connecticut Realty adopted The Sunshine Kids Foundation as a company charity in 2002. Since then, we have raised more than $700,000 through charity events and donations. Young cancer patients at Connecticut Children's Medical Center have enjoyed trips to Hawaii, Washington, D.C., New Orleans and New York City.
