Tracy's Kids Visit their website

"The team at Kole Imports have been wonderful to the children and families served by Tracy's Kids. They have been generous with their time, expertise and resources each and every time that we've asked -- all for the benefit of young cancer patients who use Kole's array of art supplies to express their feelings and fears and reflect on their treatment experiences through art therapy. We only wish everyone at Kole could see the smiles their materials help create."

- Matt Gerson - Chairman - Tracy's Kids

Tracy's Kids helps young cancer patients and their families cope with the emotional stress and trauma of cancer and its treatment. Their mission is to ensure that the children and families they serve are emotionally equipped to fight cancer as actively as possible-and prepared for the time when they are cancer free.

Using art therapy to help cancer patients express their feelings about their disease and its treatment, Tracy's Kids volunteers work in hospitals, freestanding clinics and other appropriate settings.

P.S. I Love You Visit their website

"We cannot say enough about the genuine kindness and giving Kole Imports has demonstrated to the P.S. I Love You Foundation every year. Kole Imports represents not only altruistic givers who help children in need but they also represent quality products and professionalism. Rob and Danny, along with the whole Kole Imports family, are recognized by our foundation as strong business partners. We have the utmost respect and gratitude for all that they do philanthropically for our organization!"

- Patricia Jones - Founder - P.S. I Love You Foundation

The P.S. I Love You Foundation's goal is to create positive and personal differences in the lives of at-risk children so they can achieve productive lives, live with healthy habits and maintain peaceful attitudes toward themselves and others. Their mission is carried out through the teaching of essential skills that influence the development of compassion, good choices, positive attitudes and confident minds.

The outcome to be celebrated: children that become successful because they choose to be happy, kind, respectful and competent adults.

They are a purely volunteer organization, so 100% of any funds raised goes directly to the implementation, development and maintenance of their programs.

"When they told me about the endowment, I cried my eyes out, the tears just came. It's quite something. I'm proud of them for thinking of it and doing it."

- Pearl Kole

To commemorate the battle for life of one special person, Pearl Kole, her sons Danny and Rob have launched with personal gifts, the Pearl Endowment for Cancer Research.

Joining with the American Cancer Society, the World's largest and most experienced private funder of cancer research, The Pearl Endowment will help eliminate the threat of breast cancer for future generations.

Each year, income from the Pearl Endowment will be used to fund the highest priority breast cancer research, which will be selected by the American Cancer Society.
