Treasure Chest Programs
There have been Treasure Chest openings
at 69 locations, serving thousands of young
cancer patients each month across the nation!
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.
