Takes the Lead for Kids Fighting Cancer

LEADZ Networkers group provided a generous helping hand to kids with cancer by organizing and implementing a fundraiser to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. The hardworking group drew support from more than 80 participants at the Alley Grill and Tap House in Mokena this past January. The event featured raffle prizes, split-the-pot and Super Bowl squares and ultimately raised $3,000 to benefit children fighting cancer. Kathi Peteroccelli of LEADZ Networkers said, “We are more than happy to raise funds for an amazing organization like the Treasure Chest Foundation.”

Summer 2020 Page 5 A True Cinderella Story Benefits Children with Cancer

With the clock set to strike midnight, attendees of Orland Park Recreation and Parks Department’s Eleventh Annual Cinderella Ball recently made sure that children and teens battling cancer would have something to smile about. The royal ball, attended by more than 200 young children with their parents, provided not only a chance to enjoy food, activities and dancing, but served to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation.

Those benefits were provided for a fifth consecutive year, thanks to the compassion of Rob and Elise Wehmeier, proprietors of Wehmeier Portraits of Orland Park, who were on hand to create special digital photo memories of the evening. After the festive event drew to a close and Cinderella had finally rushed to her waiting carriage—minus one glass slipper, of course—an impressive $295 and more than 100 toys had been collected to benefit brave young cancer patients nationwide. “We respect what the Treasure Chest does,” said Elise Wehmeier. “They provide great services to those who are hurting and we’ve learned that the Cinderella Ball seems to be a great way to help the children.”

Kolmar Avenue Elementary School in Oak Lawn Hosts “Family Bingo Night” to Benefit Children with Cancer Students and families at Kolmar Avenue Elementary School in Oak Lawn are giving to children and teens fighting cancer. The school’s PTA recently sponsored a “Family Bingo Night” to benefit the Treasure Chest Foundation. After the last number had been called the event had raised $170 in gift cards and numerous toys for children and teens battling cancer.

Kolmar School PTA parent and Family Bingo Night Chairwoman Jackie Lichter said, “In spite of the bad weather over 60 families came out to support the Treasure Chest Foundation with their donations. This is all about teaching the kids to give back to the community.”

Marzillo Family Gives Back to Treasure Chest Foundation in Honor of Granddaughter Stella The Treasure Chest Foundation received a donation of toys thanks to the thoughtfulness and generosity of the Marzillo family of Elmwood, whose granddaughter had benefitted from services provided by the Foundation.

Four years ago, when three-year-old Stella was diagnosed with cancer, she received many toys from the Treasure Chest at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. Because her family noted how receiving a toy had helped Stella endure countless painful treatments throughout the ordeal, the family started the Stella’s Stars Toy Drive. This year’s event again was a rousing success.

Tinley Park Resident Jackie Bobbitt Donates Impressive Artistic Skills

For the past four years, Tinley Park resident Jackie Bobbitt has supported young cancer patients by painting the Treasure Chests located at each Treatment Center served by the Foundation. Before tackling each request, Jackie typically confers with the Treatment Center representatives and then paints the Treasure Chest to match that hospital’s existing theme and paint scheme. “I am happy to donate the time and supplies,” says Jackie. “It’s my way of supporting the Treasure Chest Foundation. I love what they are doing, and I am happy to help. I look forward to painting and decorating many more Treasure Chests in the future.”

Thus far, Jackie has painted eight of our Treasure Chests, with the first seven becoming instant hits in Columbia, MO; Nashville, TN; Eau Claire, WI; Cleveland, OH; Rochester, MN; and two in Toledo, OH. For her latest masterpiece, Jackie skillfully painted a Treasure Chest to match the animal theme of The Niswonger Children’s Hospital in Johnson City, TN, where our 60th Treasure Chest Program will open later this summer.
