Friends of Kids with Cancer: 2024 Annual Report
Letter from the Executive Director DEAR FRIENDS, It is our pleasure to present the Friends of Kids with Cancer 2024 Annual Report. As we reflect on our 32 years as an organization, we are reminded once again that growth, both in impact and in community, is at the core of our mission. This year, our signature events reached new heights. Trivia Night, Walk with a Friend, the Golf Tournament & Auction, Art from the Heart, Hats On Day, the Fashion Show & Boutique, and an incredible array of third-party fundraisers all saw outstanding participation and enthusiastic support. These events are not only vital to our operations; they also create meaningful, joyful experiences for our patients and families that make every moment count.
our community, whose kindness ensures that our mission remains strong long into the future. Your contributions send a powerful message of hope. They remind families facing unimaginable challenges that they are never alone, and that people like you are standing with them. Your compassion fuels the growth and sustainability of our Educational, Emotional, and Recreational programs. These programs give kids and their families the confidence, comfort, and courage they need as they battle childhood cancer, helping them stay focused, resilient, and surrounded by moments of joy. This Annual Report documents our financial progress in 2024, but the true measure of our success can be found in the children’s smiles and the heartfelt gratitude expressed by parents, caregivers, and medical teams. Your belief in our mission continues to inspire us every day.
Most importantly, we measure our success by the positive difference we make in the lives of the children and families we serve. The difficult truth is that the number of families joining the Friends community continues to grow. Our “Once a Friend, Always a Friend” commitment remains a defining part of who we are. Through our essential programs, we walk alongside families throughout their entire journey… and always will.
Your friendship truly made a difference. With sincere thanks,
As the number of families increases, so does the need for continued generosity from donors and volunteers. We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of
Brandy Bimslager Executive Director
Through our essential programs, we walk alongside families through their entire journey... and always will. 2

Our
HISTORY
TRE ATI N G TH E WH O LE CH I LD & TH E WH O LE FAM I LY
TH E POWE R O F TH I N K , FEEL & S M I LE
Friends of Kids with Cancer has a proud history of helping children with a cancer diagnosis exclusively in St. Louis for over 30 years. Jill Turec, Developmental Specialist at Mercy Clinic Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center, along with concerned parents, Molly Henry and Susie Snowden, saw the great need to enrich the daily lives and divert the attention of patients in treatment. These three women shared a dream that every child with cancer would experience as much fun, laughter, support, and normality as possible. It was this idea that was the birth of Friends of Kids with Cancer.
Friends of Kids with Cancer helps cultivate mental well-being with Educational, Emotional, and Recreational programs that help children, and their families, cope with the daily challenges they face. Families are supported with specialized Think, Feel, Smile programming to suit the needs of each member in order to retain a sense of normality and maintain a sense of childhood.
For over 30 years Friends has been driven to meet the everevolving needs of not only the patients but their entire family. Every aspect of support Friends provides is proposed by medical professionals and patient families. Starting in the office of Dr. Bob Bergamini, local Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist, in 1992, Friends adopted his philosophy: treat the needs of the entire child, not only the cancer.
Emotional programming provides mental health resources like support groups, counseling, and expressive therapies, to help patients, siblings, and parents express their feelings in this challenging time.
Friends provides educational programs like tutoring to help patients and siblings with learning difficulties due to chemotherapy or medical visits that remove them from the classroom.
Curating opportunities that allow kids and families to feel carefree is the core of Recreational programs, which provide special toys, activities, specialized gifts, parties, and experiences.
“Our family attended your fall festival last night and we just wanted to let you know how much we loved it! Thank you for providing these fun activities for families and giving these kids a chance to just be kids!
We are so thankful for your organization” The Edwards Family

"Reflecting on my son's journey battling leukemia for three and a half years, I'm grateful for the incredible support we received. Each person's experience is unique, and for a child, it truly takes a village. Thank you... Friends of Kids with Cancer
for helping ensure that more of his days were spent being a kid than being a patient." Stephanie, patient mom
