Berwyn Low Key Tattoo Collects Toys to Help Children Fighting Cancer

Low Key Tattoo in Berwyn brings in the holiday season by collecting toys to benefit the Treasure Chest Foundation and young children and teens fighting cancer. In the spirit of giving the Low Key Tattoo shop sponsored a toy drive.

When the last toy was dropped off, the shop collected toys and gifts to benefit children and teens fighting cancer.

Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel said, “We are extremely grateful to the Owner of Berwyn Low Key Tattoo shop Gilbert Martinez and all the donors. It is amazing to receive such a tremendous donation, especially during our important holiday toy drive season.”

The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 16,100 young cancer patients in 66 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 29th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of this year.
