Treasure Chest Programs
There have been Treasure Chest openings
at 66 locations, serving more than 16,100 young
cancer patients each month in 21 states across
the nation and in the District of Columbia.
Our Mission
To provide comfort and distraction from
painful procedures to children and teens
who have been diagnosed with cancer, by
providing gifts from a Treasure Chest.
Our History
Colleen Kisel’s son, Martin, was diagnosed with
cancer in 1993. After discovering the calming effect
a toy had after a procedure, she aimed to share
feeling with other children fighting cancer.
Our Families
Unfortunately, too many parents hear the words “your child has cancer.” Over the years, we’ve been able to have a glimpse into how the Treasure Chest Foundation has made a difference in the lives of those it touches.
