What Kids for Kids Foundation does

Kids for Kids Foundation, Inc. is a New York-incorporated nonprofit charitable organization founded in 2008 by Robert Catalano and a group of New York City professionals to raise money for organizations supporting children and families facing medical challenges. The foundation operates an event-driven fundraising model anchored on a recurring calendar of community events including the 17th Annual Golf Outing, twice-yearly Sporting Clays events at Orvis Sandanona Shooting Grounds, Racing for a Cure at Monticello Motor Club, the Paul J. Lombardozzi II Memorial Golf Classic in Colts Neck, NJ, and the Family Fun Day at Aviator Sports in Brooklyn. Since inception it has raised over $10 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and has expanded its beneficiary base to include St. Mary's Hospital for Children, Maimonides Children's Hospital, and Cohen Children's Medical Center, with multi-year commitments to each (totaling roughly $3 million in pledged 10-year giving plus a new $10 million St. Jude pledge through 2028). The foundation also runs a Junior Committee youth-engagement program launched in 2012, a Monthly Giving Program, an online store, and volunteer sign-up, all coordinated through a website built on Neon One / NeonCRM with GiveSmart processing donations. Revenue is generated entirely through donations, corporate sponsorships, event participation fees, and recurring monthly gifts; no products or services are sold at commercial margins.
