The Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation was overjoyed recently to receive an enormous donation of toys and $15 in gift cards from Quality Saw & Seal, Inc. located in Bridgeview, IL. Quality Saw & Seal, Inc. is a leading provider of sawing & drilling services in the Midwest.
The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 14,000 young cancer patients in 59 cancer treatment centers in 20 states across the nation and in the District of Columbia. Nowhere else in the nation does such a program exist. Colleen Kisel founded the organization in 1996 after her then seven-year-old son Martin had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1993. Ms. Kisel discovered that giving her son a toy after each procedure provided a calming distraction from his pain, noting that when children are diagnosed with cancer their world soon becomes filled with doctors, nurses, chemotherapy drugs, surgeries and seemingly endless painful procedures. Martin celebrated his 26th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of 2019.
