On September 8, 2023, at Water’s Edge Golf Club in Worth, the Ciarlette and Robbins LLP Accounting Firm held its second annual Golf Outing, benefiting the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. When the last golf cart had rolled in, the Ciarlette and Robbins LLP accounting firm had raised $650 in gift cards, $320 and collected an impressive number of toys for children and teens fighting cancer.

“The mission of putting smiles on kid’s faces resonates with me, and a smile goes a long way. What the Treasure Chest does is a good thing for the kids, and it is easy for us to do,” said Office Manager Jaime McCracken. Jamie nominated the Treasure Chest to be the recipient of the golf outing and because people like her the Treasure Chest’s mission of providing hope and smiles stretches to 21 states and to over 16,000 children and teens monthly.

Treasure Chest Foundation Executive Director Kendra Connor said, “We feel so grateful to have the support of Ciarlette and Robbins L.L.P. accounting firm. Their donation of toys and gift cards comes at a critical time before toy drive season starts. Their donation will directly help the children and teens who endure years and years of unending cancer treatments by rewarding the kids with a toy or gift card after every procedure.”
