We are honored to be there to capture those smiles & forever preserve images of courage, beauty and dignity. Every year, we provide free portrait packages to 5,000 children in 55
cities across the country. Each family is presented with framed enlargements, proofs and
a digital photo gallery of all the images. The portraits help the children see themselves in
a new light. The images are not of sick kids, but of strong and beautiful children filled with
hope.
&
By focusing on the child, we put cancer in the background. Volunteer stylists make every
child feel special before they step in front of the camera with family, friends and often, a
favorite nurse. At the photo shoot, each child receives a Happy Pack filled with items that
provide comfort and dis- traction from the monotony and isolation of a long hospitalization.
The birthday party atmosphere quickly turns a routine day into a celebration of the love that surrounds them.

Kids Kicking Cancer’s mission is: To ease the pain of very sick children while empowering them to heal physically, spiritually and emotionally. Kids Kicking Cancer’s Heroes Circle
program provides therapeutic martial arts classes and hospital visits for children and teens. Weekly classes at hospitals, clinics, and even the children’s homes, teach traditional karate
moves along with the mind-body techniques of meditation, breathing, relaxation, and visuali- zation to dramatically lower pain levels.
&
Using martial arts therapy, Kids Kicking Cancer teaches seriously ill children & their siblings to:
- Regain a sense of control over the chaos of their lives
- Become empowered partners in their own healing
- Push away the messages of pain, fear, and anger
- Provide inspiration and light to others facing life-challenges
- Teach other children, and even adults, how to take control
- See themselves as victors, not victims
All services provided by Kids Kicking Cancer are at no cost to the children and families. They are 100% free of charge. Children 3 years & older, and their siblings are eligible for
the program. The Heroes Circle is aiming to improve an individual’s capability to manage
& respond to stress, pain & trauma. Thanks to a global network of funders, partners, vol-
unteers & martial arts therapists, we have expanded our programming to reach children
in 21 U.S. states and 10 different countries.
