Our 2006 IRS Form 990 reflects that 85 cents of every donated dollar is used to directly benefit our programs and the patients we serve.

The mission of the Cool Kids Campaign is to provide kids with cancer a higher quality of life for themselves and their families while facing the challenges of cancer. From the beginning we have always made it our goal to have a direct impact on the children fighting cancer. In 2006, when we were trying to decide on a name for our new foundation, we tried to keep in mind that kids are kids regardless if they are sick or healthy. Hence, the Cool Kids name. Every kid wants to feel cool even if they don't feel well. Every day, as we decide how to help these kids and best use our donated dollars we make our decisions based on whether our actions will directly affect a child and make them forget, at least for a little while, that they are fighting for their lives. Now available! Beat cancer with a strong, positive attitude with our new line of Cancer Fears Me merchandise and apparel. And raise money for yourself through our Designated Patient Fundraising program. This unique program allows any family, friend or group to sell the Cancer Fears Me merchandise and 25% of their sale will go back to any cancer patient (adult or pediatric) they designate. Checks will be sent out monthly and the patients can use the money on any needs they have. PLUS, just added, any nonprofit serving the cancer community can also use the Designated Fundraising to raise money for their programs.

Cool Kids Family Support Fund With the outpouring of support we received at the end of 2007 we were able to start our Cool Kids Family Support Fund. With this fund, we will pay bills for families that are experiencing financial pressure due to their child's illness. We will also negotiate with creditors to lower payments and the amounts owed. We will be fine-tuning the parameters and application process for this fund in the Baltimore area. Once we feel confident with our screening process we will offer this aid on a national level.   Kimmie's Angels on Ice to benefit the Cool Kids Campaign was a huge success!
