A Force for Good for Children and Teens Fighting Cancer

Force Enterprises of Tinley Park is giving back to children and teens fighting cancer and helping the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF) by donating printing services for 350 invitations to the Foundation’s upcoming annual fundraiser. The donated invitations will help the Orland Park-based non-profit organization, which provides toys, gifts and gift cards to children and teens diagnosed with cancer nationwide, to offset the cost of holding its Sixth Annual Treasuring Our Kids “A Night on the Town” Fundraiser, on August 22, 2015.

Force Enterprises Owner and President Bruce Nelson said, “We donate our printing services to give back to the kids who have cancer. My niece was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of eight. I know firsthand what it is like to have a loved one fight childhood cancer.”

Force Enterprises is a full service commercial sheetfed printer located in Tinley Park. With over 30 years of experience, Force Enterprises knows the value of staying on top of the latest technology with state-of-the-art presses and finishing equipment that guarantees your project will be on budget and on time.

The Foundation’s “A Night on the Town” Fundraiser takes place on August 22 at Beverly Country Club, 8700 S. Western Avenue in Chicago, IL. The event is the Foundation’s most important annual fundraiser and will help provide the necessary funding to aid children battling cancer throughout Chicagoland and across the nation.

Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel appreciates the contributions Force Enterprises has made to the success of the Foundation’s annual fundraiser for more than a decade. “Bruce’s gift of printing has made our fundraisers enticing and appealing and helped bring smiles of joy to childhood cancer patients and their families,” said a grateful Colleen.

The not-for-profit Treasure Chest Foundation now supports more than 9,300 children and teens each month who are diagnosed with cancer by providing a toy or gift card in 49 hospitals nationwide. Nowhere else in the nation does such a program exist. CEO Colleen Kisel founded the organization in 1996 after her then seven-year-old son Martin had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1993. Colleen discovered that giving her son a toy after each procedure provided a calming distraction from his pain. Martin recently celebrated his 22nd anniversary of remission from the disease earlier this year.
