We have SO many things for be thankful for…but we are truly thankful for YOU all and your support for the foundation. We can’t do what we do without your support and donations.
We’ve continued partnerships with Children's Wisconsin and UW American Family Children's Hospital and with the help of Signs By Caitlin we were able to purchase 300 DIY signs for families to make throughout their stay at either hospital. We sent our first batches right before Halloween and just recently sent another….
Thank you…thank you….thank YOU for believing in us and helping us help families affected by childhood cancer. To continue to support our work, donate here: kissesfromkeegan.org/donate/
We headed up to Madison this morning with 2 things in mind, first to visit and take a tour at American Family Children’s Hospital, and secondly to watch Badger High School play in the Division 2 State Football Championship game. We would call both a huge success.
We met with one of the Social Workers we regularly communicate with, she was in tears when we met her because of what we have done for their families, and were given a wonderful tour of the hospital and all the areas that the kiddos fighting cancer spend time. While we made our journey through the hospital we were able to meet some of the Doc's, Nurses, and specialist who do amazing things for the kiddos they see and talk to them about what they do and how we can help.
We had purchased and brought up 100 pill boxes for the the kids medicine to be kept in and so they have it ready for every day of the month. (We had already delivered 100 to CHW) When we visit the hospitals we like to purchase gift cards for the cafeteria so families who are inpatient can eat without taking money out of their own pockets so we got a bunch of them and handed them to the Social Worker.
American Family is doing wonderful things for kids and families and we are very happy to have such a good relationship with them and we look forward to continuing our partnership and watching it grow.
When the tour was complete and we had given hugs we were able to head over to Camp Randall and watch our home town team win a State Championship!
So proud of all we are doing as a foundation and also proud of the young Men, some of whom are our Junior Board members, and Coaches for completing their undefeated season and beating a very talented tough Waunakee team and claiming the title of State Champions!
Registration is open!

Sad truth. We need better safer drugs for our kids.
The drugs and treatments for adults are different than those for kids, and adult cancers get 96% of the federal funding and childhood cancer gets 4%.
Kids are worth more than 4%.
Here we go!!!!! Thank you to those that purchased tickets!!!
