University of Chicago Booth Students partnered with Pickles Group to use both quantitative and qualitative data and research to better understand family cancer prevalence throughout Chicago.

Thanks to the Chicago Tribune for writing about Pickles Group.

We hope you'll consider supporting our growing community on Giving Tuesday.

Is your family navigating a parent, guardian, or caregiver's cancer? Do you know a family who is? We invite you to meet the Pickles Group community at our first virtual family gathering, Pickles Connect.

At Pickles Group, we’re proud that our founding Chief Clinical Program Officer, Kelsey Mora, and many of our volunteers bring a background in Child Life, a specialty that many families may not be familiar with. While our programs are designed to be facilitated by volunteers who may or may not have this expertise, we are excited to share more about one type of experience our team brings to Pickles programming for kids and teens. So what’s a child life specialist anyway?

We are excited to share that we launched our first 5-week Pickles Empower program cohorts this month thanks to the generosity and support of the Pickles Community and supporters like you.

Help Pickles launch a new nonprofit organization during our mission-critical first year in operation so we can impact kids and their families at a time when they can benefit most. Join our Chicago Launch Committee.

New org founded by Chicago business, community and academic leaders diagnosed with cancer has a unique model: kids helping other kids through their parents’ cancer journeys.

The Chicago Tribune’s Bob Goldsborough honored the life of Pickles Group founding parent, Ned Smith, on October 31, 2021. Ned’s colleagues, family, and friends celebrate his meaningful and enduring impact in the Tribune’s obituary.

We are grateful for The University of Chicago Booth School of Business and their feature on Pickles Group, our University of Chicago roots, and our vision to support kids and teens through their parent’s cancer. Read the feature by Hal Conick.
