Mid-Year Community Update

In late September 2021, a group of three Chicagoland families, the Smiths, Hlavaceks, and Agnews, all of whom were navigating a parent's cancer diagnosis, launched Pickles Group. Since then, with your support, our organization has been working hard to make their vision and our mission a reality by providing free peer-to-peer support and resources to kids affected by their parent or caregiver’s cancer.

Since January we've developed and grown our flagship in-person program in Chicago's North Shore where Pickles kids strengthen resilience, have fun with friends who get them, and heal along the way through peer support.

We're proud to share our progress with you and our next steps to grow and support more families this year.
