About this Event

Comforting Kids Fighting Cancer — One Toy at a Time


At the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation, we
believe every child fighting cancer deserves a moment of joy.

It all started in 1993, when founder Colleen Kisel saw the comfort a toy
brought her son, Martin, during his cancer treatment. That simple gift sparked a big idea: bring smiles and comfort to kids facing the toughest battles.

Today, Treasure Chest programs have been established in 69 pediatric cancer centers across the country — with many still actively serving young patients. After a difficult procedure, each child gets to choose a toy, gift or gift card — a small reward for their strength and bravery.


Because a little comfort can go a long way.
