ABOUT US
Kans for Kids is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting children who are living with cancer. The project was developed in October 1994 by 11-year-old Sarah and 8-year-old Shane Reif of Hoisington, Kansas, to help with the medical expenses of their 10-month-old cousin, Katie.
In March of 1996, the Reifs continued their effort and became known as the Kans for Kids Fighting Cancer Foundation. Since its inception, this project has raised thousands of dollars by recycling aluminum cans, as well as receiving donations from memorials, fundraisers, and private donors, while assisting many children living with cancer.
