Kidz for a Cure was spearheaded in 2008 by then eight-year-old entrepreneur Madison Lewandowski who wanted to help find a cure for pediatric cancer while showing her young peers the magic of philanthropy.

Support Cancer Center of Santa Barbara’s Pediatric Oncology Research Fund* by selling your children’s gently-used, clean, working toys, games, electronics, videos/DVDs, and books that they have outgrown or are ready to pass on. Call Cancer Center of Santa Barbara by Thursday, May 10 to reserve one of the spaces (first come, first serve!) to sell items. Those who reserve space to sell items will receive a “Thank You” package with goodies from Golf N’ Stuff, Kingston Candy Co. and more. Meet people, sell your items, and raise money for pediatric cancer research!

The celebration will include face painting, musical entertainment by the NEWCATS and CutTime, crafts, a bounce house and fantastic silent auction items, like Disneyland Park Hopper tickets.

*Cancer Center of Santa Barbara provides a yearly grant from this fund to Cottage Hospital’s pediatric oncology program for research.
