Kisses For Kyle Foundation

What Kisses For Kyle Foundation does

Kisses For Kyle Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2001 and headquartered in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. It delivers programs, services, and special events for families affected by childhood cancer throughout the Delaware Valley region. The foundation supports children undergoing cancer treatment (termed "warriors") and their siblings (termed "super sibs") through a portfolio of more than 46 distinct program services, including holiday parties, shopping sprees, family fun days, scholarships, salon events, farm visits, and respite trips such as the White House Easter Egg Roll.

The foundation operates an event-and-partnership-driven service delivery model rather than a technology platform. Core program lines include Family Support Programs, the Warriors and Super Sibs sub-programs, the Live Like Lucy initiative, a Scholarship Program, Holiday Programs, Family Events, and the Kookies & Kupcakes fundraising program. In 2025 the foundation supported 2,785 family members across approximately 695 families and raised $741,293. Service delivery relies on a deep network of more than 40 corporate, community, and healthcare partners — including Macy's, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia Union, Johnson & Johnson, Wawa Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Philadelphia, Fertile Green Farms, and Nemours Center for Cancer Disorders — providing venues, in-kind donations, volunteer labor, and financial contributions.

The revenue model is exclusively donation-based: individual contributions, corporate sponsorships, family foundation grants, and proceeds from annual fundraising events. No fee-based products or services are sold, and all beneficiary programs are delivered free of charge. Marketing and donor acquisition run through organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X), the foundation's website (kissesforkyle.org), earned media (iHeart Radio), and community events. The organization is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026.
