 August
1998 - Our very first event. Where the
password to allow entrance into the event was "I'm A Kool Kid"
Charlotte, North Carolina
The
"Kaps for Kool Kids" summer pool party for pediatric
oncology patients and their families was so much fun. A variety
of "kool kaps" were given to the children and then
autographed by the local celebrities.
 December
2006
Birmingham, Alabama
Christmas "Kaps For Kool
Kid" sponsored by Avon to benefit the Children's Hospital of Birmingham
was an event like no other. Pediatric patients and
their families were greeted by Santa where they enjoyed lots of
delicious food, wonderful give-a-ways and even the chance to meet
local celebrities.
 February
2006
Fort Mill, South Carolina
Gold Hill Elementary 1st grade
students wrote special pink and red valentine get well greetings for
the pediatric patients to enjoy. All patients love to receive mail
especially written by other children their age.
