Based on her childhood experience, she was inspired to help other children unite with their peers who shared a similar loss experience so they would know they were not alone in their grieving. Kate’s Club started in June 2003 with only six children, their families and an outing to a local bowling alley. Now twelve years later, we have touched the lives of more than 925 children and their families. We engage our members and over 200 volunteers each year in four main programs that provide social, recreational and emotional support to the children of Kate’s Club. Our Founders Story - “I was 6 years old when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Six years old and the only thing I knew about cancer was that it started with a “k”. Just as I had mistaken the alphabet, I had mistaken the severity of this illness. My family was very protective of my brother and me, and as a result, shared little information with us about the status of my mother’s health. On Thursday, April 25, 1991 my family, my life, my character would forever be changed. I was twelve years old, and in the middle of Ms. Kerewich’s Social Studies class when the fateful call came over the intercom from the office. I knew right away that it was over. For the night before, I had rushed home from my little league softball game to jump in my mom’s arms only to find an empty bed.
