The mission of the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation is to provide comfort and distraction from painful procedures to children and teens who have been diagnosed with cancer by providing a toy, gift or gift card from a treasure chest. During this past December, two local a businesses hosted holiday toy drives which resulted in an enormous donation of toys.
Each year I am amazed by the fact that these organizations—all located within close proximity to our Orland Park headquarters—are able to provide enough toys to directly benefit children and teens at more than 46 treatment centers across the nation. As the Founder and CEO of the foundation, I would like to convey my personal thanks and deep sense of gratitude to the following organizations:

Mokena Animal Clinic and Vikkie Monaco Salon.
Find out what's happening in Mokenawith free, real-time updates from Patch.
On behalf of the children and teens who have been diagnosed with cancer, the Treasure Chest Foundation Board of Directors and staff wish to thank the parents, scouts, along with the area business for their tremendous response. We truly feel blessed to have such support.
Sincerely and with gratitude,
Colleen M. Kisel
