Bags Donated in Memory of Kristin Keane
Katie Kerckhov, along with Kellan and Kalleigh Keane brought a donation of 100 Thirty-One bags today. You might remember Kellan and Kalleigh from the September/October issue of the Illinois CancerCare Newsletter. They raised $1,000 with a lemonade stand in Toulon, IL.
The bags were donated in Kristin Keane’s memory by her family and friends. It has been decided that the bags will be used as part of New Patient Comfort Kits that the Illinois CancerCare Foundation is providing to financially disadvantaged patients.
