On The Spot Auto Detailing Services in Mokena is Spot On for Children and Teens Fighting Cancer
When we think of auto care, we normally think of repairs, but On The Spot Auto Detailing Services in Mokena cares for cars and cares for kids with cancer. The detailing shop recently hosted a holiday toy drive that was spot on for the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation by raising three van loads of toys and gifts for children and teens going through cancer treatments.
On the Spot Auto Detailing has over 25 years of experience ready to meet all of your detailing needs. Owner Chris Tuman drew inspiration from his mom and dad to start the business. Chris Tuman said, “I witnessed firsthand what it is like for these kids. My son was treated at Lurie Children’s Hospital. I also coached a little boy with cancer. That same boy helps me with my toy drive.”
Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel recognizes and appreciates the dedication shown by the On The Spot Auto Detailing family. “I am amazed what a business can do for a charity like ours,” said Ms. Kisel. “We are thankful for their support that will certainly provide joy to young people battling cancer.”

The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 14,800 young cancer patients in 63 cancer treatment centers in 21 states across the nation and in the District of Columbia. Nowhere else in the nation does such a program exist. Colleen Kisel founded the organization in 1996 after her then seven-year-old son Martin had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1993. Ms. Kisel discovered that giving her son a toy after each procedure provided a calming distraction from his pain, noting that when children are diagnosed with cancer their world soon becomes filled with doctors, nurses, chemotherapy drugs, surgeries and seemingly endless painful procedures. Martin celebrated his 28th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of 2021.
