Epstein Challenge Generates $12K For Kin Wellness Center In Bucks

BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, PA – Thanks to the generosity of Bucks County, the community met and exceeded a challenge this summer from the Gene and Marlene Epstein Foundation raising more than $12,000 in one week for the Kin Wellness and Support Center.

According to Kin's executive director Keith Fenimore, not only did the community raise $5,000 - the amount needed to receive a matching contribution from the Epstein Foundation - it exceeded the challenge by giving $7,298.

And as promised, the Epstein's provided their match, bringing the total to $12,298.

“The Epstein’s contribute a staggering amount of money to worthy local non-profits. Kin is lucky to be on their radar and the recipient of this generous gift," said Fenimore. "We want to thank the Bucks County community for stepping up and supporting us. We were ecstatic to reach and exceed the fundraising goal. The people of Bucks County are amazing!”

Kin Wellness and Support Center is an all-inclusive 5,000-square-foot retreat, offering support, fitness, therapy, and integrative services to cancer patients, their families, and caregivers.

Kin was the inspiration of Bucks County resident Corinne Sikora, who battled both brain and breast cancer, but who had a vision of creating a wellness center for Bucks County residents battling cancer.

Free programs include nutrition, yoga, fitness, one-on-one counseling, support groups, workshops, massage, reflexology, reiki, chiropractic, acupuncture, and facials. Kin is a unique center that looks to satisfy the emotional, social and physical needs of cancer patients.

The success of Kin is made possible through generous donations from the Bucks County community. Its mission is to help people find calm and peace and center themselves in a restorative environment.

Kin's official healthcare sponsors are Fox Chase Buckingham, Grand View Health, and Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic St. Mary Medical Center.
