Meet Laurie and Brian—a couple who truly lifts others up in more ways than one! ?? We first met them while planning a hot air balloon ride for another recipient. Not only did Laurie give this gift to a recipient, but as the owner of a small business she’s been instrumental in giving other recipients gifts all year long. ?? When we learned Laurie was LIVING with breast cancer, we encouraged her amazing fiancé, Brian, to nominate her for a little fun and relaxation. Thanks to Brian and our amazing partners at Woodhouse Day Spa in Liberty Township, we were able to treat Laurie and Brian a day of some long overdue R&R! ?? We are so appreciative of Laurie’s partnership and for the joy she helps bring to so many lives. Don’t forget - YOU can GIFT someone who deserves a special moment too. Let’s keep lifting each other UP! Check out our website for more information or DM us today!

Our Columbus Lift Off Happy Hour was a HUGE success! A massive thank you to Columbus Chapter Leader, Irene Adams, for making it all happen!

To everyone who showed up, donated, or supported from afar—you’re the reason we’re able to keep spreading joy to those LIVING with breast cancer.

?? What’s better than a Bengals W in Overtime? How about 20+ KWF Recipients watching the win from the best seats in Paycor Stadium thanks to our friends at Kettering Health! A very special shoutout to Kettering Health for making sure our recipients got the chance to sideline cancer Saturday, leaving it back at home to enjoy watching the Bengals beat the Broncos from the comfort of their double suite. Cool beverages, comfy seats and unlimited snacks. We couldn’t draw up a better Gift of FUN if we tried! Thank you to our the Kettering Health Community, The Cincy Hat Foundation and all those who made this experience possible for our Recipient Families. Who Dey!

Earlier this month on Giving Tuesday, we had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our incredible healthcare nominators - those amazing individuals who connect us with families in need of FUN! Did you know that 50% of all KWF nominations come from nurses and healthcare professionals? We couldn’t do what we do without them. ?? To show our appreciation, we delivered special “thank you” boxes filled with goodies like spa masks, candles, journals, and more—plus some extra treats like free oil changes courtesy of Donovan's Auto & Tire Center and cannoli certificates from Del Gardo's! To put it simply, it takes a village to get FUN back on the calendars of women and families LIVING with breast cancer and we are beyond grateful for ours. ??#givefirst
