Hello KBK supporters!
This is the second week in April and we still have an overwhelming amount of requests yet not enough funds. We are reaching out to anyone and everyone who has connections, availability, or just plain old help to get KBK off an running. KBK is going to have a rummage sale and we are looking for anyone and everyone that would like to donate to this cause. We are going to sell whatever we can to raise money for this foundation. KBK's first annual rummage sale will be in mid June so we need to get the word out there. This event will be held in Agoura Hills and the kids who have sent in requests locally will be there to meet all those that have helped them.
If you have questions or would like to donate please email at kidzbeingkidz@yahoo.com/

$2000 in 2 weeks!!!!
Hello everyone!
Thank you for all your wonderful donations, especially in this economic turmoil. The kids responses have been a lot more overwhelming than we expected. We have 18 kids that have sent in requests for their extracurricular activity to be paid for! That is awesome! We are raising money each day to promote the wellness of the kids that are affected by illness of a family member.
We are on a mission to raise $2000 in two weeks. I know it sounds impossible to some but to those of us at kidzbeingkidz, it is just another hurdle that we are ready to jump.
I am asking everyone for their help, even if it is $5.00 every bit helps. We are accepting payments through pay pal or checks.
It is our mission to enable kids to participate in whatever activity they would like and allowing them to be KIDZ! When an illness hits a family everyone is affected but with positive energy and outlets kidz can still enjoy childhood!
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog stay tuned!

Help us start a 501(c)(3)
Hi Everyone! Please copy and paste and send this to as many people as you can, we need to get this off the ground ASAP!!!
KIDS BEING KIDS FOUNDATION
Good Afternoon,
My name is Tracy Chisolm and I am a cancer survivor.
Dealing with cancer has not only been strenuous on me but the affects on my 2 children ages 4 and 8 have been tremendous. Due to the high cost of medical care and inconsistency of doctors visits my children have been unable to participate in extracurricular activities that would benefit them not only personally but socially.
I am raising money to begin my own non-profit 501(c)(3) organization named Kids Being Kids Foundation to enable kids to be just kids. This organization would offer kids the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities whether that is karate for one year or ballet classes. We would like to offer grants to families that have a parent or caretaker who is mentally, seriously or terminally ill and find it difficult for their kids to be kids.
In today's economy the astronomical cost of medical care for patients, even those with insurance, make it difficult for their families to allow their children the small simplicities of an after school program 2 or 3 times a week.Kids being Kids is the doorway for kids to explore life outside the illness.
We are looking for donations to start this program and enable KBK Foundation to become a 501(c)(3) non profit organization and apply for grants. Without this number from the IRS we are not and will not be recognized by the IRS to grant wishes to healthy kids who are not in control of their circumstance.
The American Cancer Society feels that once we are recognized by the IRS they would be willing to become a beneficiary and allow us not only to post on their website and have a direct link to our site which is national but use them in all of our mailings and list them on our websites.
All donors will be listed on our website and recognized for their contribution/
Please help us make healthy children's dreams come true and allow them the joy of normalcy. We may not have chosen the illness for ourselves but we don't want our children to miss out either!
Thank you for your time and consideration.
