Past Events
- Parade Participation: A great way for families to get to know one another, families join in local parades during the summer. Having our kids on parade floats is fun and great for their self-esteem; it also raises awareness about pediatric cancer.
- Workshops & Retreats: On occasion, KidsCan conducts workshops and retreats for parents, caregivers and siblings of pediatric cancer patients.
- Blood Drives: In concert with the American Red Cross and friends around Minnesota, KidsCan helps organize and facilitate blood drives. We know firsthand the role that generous blood donations play in the treatment of pediatric oncology patients.
