From vacations to spa days, backstage passes and sporting events, trips to the zoo, and nights on the town, no single gift of FUN is the same. In 2024 alone, we gave over 1,119 total gifts which provided much needed respite and mental health breaks from breast cancer. As KWF increases giving, we will send about 100+ women on vacations, 300+ women to spas and other gifts of fun, and 700 Lemons to Lemonade FUN boxes. Approximately 75% of those gifts are in-kind donated experiences - including donated vacation home rentals, donated spa days gifts by various spas throughout the U.S., donated concert and sports tickets and more. In short, we leverage donations in putting KWF experiences together for KWF recipients. These experiences are designed to help women, who are actively battling breast cancer, live life to the fullest. 100 % of our recipients have stated that they have had to cancel plans due to treatment. The mental health benefits of having something good to look forward to have been proven to energize and renew them, encouraging them to stay positive during the darkest of times. KWFs mission is to give to all who are nominated and reach more women and families in the coming years. Around 30% of our gifts are the last experiences these families will have, which is why many families choose KWF as a beneficiary of their memorial funds. We call these gifts FUNds. Our list of FUNds keeps growing and while we are saddened at the loss of life, we are privileged to help families heal through paying it forward. Many of those families stay involved with KWF by helping us deliver FUN to others. 912961 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false 16 0 11 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 18 16 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true false false true true false OH CA GA X Marci Hendershot 5133143163 3825 Edwards Road Suite 103 Cincinnati OH 45209 Katie Alsip Elbisser Executive Director 40.00 X 99500 0 0 Kent Wellington Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Terri Karsten Vice Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Chad Neiter Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Robby Wellington Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Marie Arcuri Director 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lori Falke Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Connie Laug Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Steven Reder Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Liz Knecht Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tashawna Otabil Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Smitherman Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katherine Nero Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Flanagan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Pellegrini Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Breanna Bovara Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Amrine Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kecia Benneth Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Liam McMillian Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 99500 0 0 false false false 422226 775080 182419 1197306 9843 0 9843 224517 205379 19138 19138 0 0 19138 119275 422226 179204 -59929 0 -59929 5705 5840 -135 -135 Miscellaneous 999999 4450 0 0 4450 4450 1170673 -135 0 -26498 618717 618717 99500 41389 32982 25129 336561 140000 111561 85000 41570 17292 13779 10499 34709 14438 11505 8766 1742 0 1742 0 36083 17190 13163 5730 33330 10682 498 22150 8439 0 4965 3474 16631 5285 7771 3575 3450 0 3405 45 26872 12000 11872 3000 11156 332 3187 7637 6728 0 6728 0 Staff and volunteer appreciation 7422 331 5833 1258 Dues and subscriptions 8469 0 7577 892 Merchandise, equipment and supplies 2991 1397 1579 15 Service fees 9591 1370 1607 6614 44586 32538 870 11178 1348547 912961 240624 194962 176762 207253 29335 21621 60907 18969 20674 17532 414683 249377 702361 514752 47504 30118 3000 47504 33118 X 625522 481634 29335 654857 481634 702361 514752 -177874 6247 47 -1643 X false true X true false X 0 604445 660263 762638 1160256 1197306 4384908 0 0 604445 660263 762638 1160256 1197306 4384908 31555 4353353 3685 9713 6675 10532 28981 59586 0 900 2250 3650 4450 11250 4455744 0 0.97700 0.97860 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: Miscellaneous 2021: 900. 2022: 2250. 2023: 3650. 2024: 4450.
