Thank God for Kids

Giving to Children's
Thank you! With your support we raised more than $800,000 in 2009.

The 18th annual Thank God for Kids benefit, co-chaired by Kelly Brenna and Jeannie Provo-Petersen, and presented by The Cossack Foundation and Priority Courier Experts and Vanex, was held Saturday, April 25, 2009 at The Historic Milwaukee Road Depot, Downtown Minneapolis. Thanks to emcees Frank Vascellaro and Belinda Jensen and all supporters who helped with this amazing event, raising needed funds to support programs of the Cancer Kids Fund.

Improving the high quality of care delivered by Children's




 Watch
The new construction of private patient-family rooms at Children's will allow children and their families to have a more positive experience, and as a result, a better outcome. The new rooms will also provide families enhanced capacity to comfortably stay with their child for longer periods of time. Learn how you can join Children’s in our pursuit of excellence and in delivering next generation care.

Families share their stories about the Cancer Kids Fund




 The Sunder family
The first couple of months of Natalie's treatment were really hard. Besides all the chemotherapy treatments, Natalie also developed pancreatits, a rare side effect from one of the drugs she was taking. During all of this turmoil, and Natalie being a patient at Children's, we heard about this wonderful program.


The Brown family
Without all of the gracious care and concern we encountered, we truly do not know how we would have made it through such a difficult ordeal. Despite the fact that you haven’t had too many cancer patients with the diagnosis of autism like Joshua, all of his caregivers were simply fantastic! The support that Joshua and our family received through the Cancer Kids Fund was truly amazing and overwhelming.

See you in 2010!
