Rainbow International Restoration is Giving to Kids with Cancer

The customers and employees at Rainbow International Restoration in Hickory Hills are cleaning up giving to children and teens fighting cancer. They recently hosted a toy drive and collected more than $400 in toys to benefit the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (POTCF).

Rainbow International Restoration’s mission is to position franchisees in the marketplace to become the premier choice for restoration and cleaning services by always exceeding their customers’ expectations.

Treasure Chest Foundation CEO and Founder Colleen Kisel expressed her appreciation, saying, “The Treasure Chest Foundation is especially grateful for this donation of toys. Thanks to the generosity of the Rainbow International Restoration children fighting cancer will continue to be rewarded with a toy or gift card for their bravery throughout the year.”

The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 13,000 young cancer patients enduring 20,000 clinic visits each month in 19 states across the nation. 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 24th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of 2017.
