Spreading HOPE for a cancer-free future!
About Us
United by a shared vision, the members of Kate's Kids 4 the CURE are turning dreams for a cure into action.

Fueled by an abundance of youthful energy and determination, this non-profit, student-led organization donates the money it raises from a variety of fundraising projects, to local cancer research facilities.

These kids believe that working together, with the help of people like you and by supporting local research facilities, we CAN make a difference in the fight to find a cure!

Started in November of 2002 by an eight year old girl this organization is molding the leaders of tomorrow.  Click here to see Our Story

Our HOPE

The following is a poem written for Kate's Kids by Katelyn's mom that sums up our philosophy and hope for the future.

KK4C means HOPE to me!

HOPE that one day . . .

Healing from cancer will not be a need,
as it will be stopped before bad cells can seed.
There will be no such thing as bald “chemo” looks,
and tumors will only be heard of in books.

Oncologists will not be called on for a cure,
as cancer will then be prevented for sure!
The word “markers” will reference felt tips from Crayola,
NOT blood samples taken to test for carcinoma.

People will no longer know what it means,
to fear the consequence of bad cancer genes.
And families will never have to say goodbye,
just because diseased cells have multiplied.

Eventually these dreams WILL come true,
when people work together like me and you,
to dedicate time, heart and money for sure
like the young members of Kate’s Kids 4 the CURE!
