The Gabby Krause Foundation

Description

• Gabby Krause was an amazing six-year old who died in September 2004 after a courageous 19-month battle with brain cancer. Gabby loved purple, swimming, and coke-flavored slurpees. She sang, danced and laughed her way through chemo-therapy. She found the silly in everything! It is in her memory that the Gabby Krause Foundation was started, and in her spirit that the Bags of Fun program began. Gabby had the original Bag of Fun filled with toys and fun activities when she was battling her brain cancer. Her bag helped keep her busy and happy during long hospital visits. To the delight of other patients, she always shared her games and toys. It was Gabbys wish that every child at the hospital could have their very own Bag of Fun. The Gabby Krause Foundation was started because of this special wish, and Bags of Fun was created in the spirit of Gabbys original bag of toys and fun activities. Our goal is to continue Gabbys legacy of smiles by delivering Bags of Fun to pediatric patients undergoing cancer treatment, kidney dialysis and heart, liver and kidney transplants throughout Colorado. Our Mission The mission of the Gabby Krause Foundation is to make a difference in the lives of children and their families who are faced with fighting cancer and other long-term childhood diseases. Our Vision The Gabby Krause Foundation is a network of caring people who want to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer and other long-term childhood illnesses. The signature project of the foundation is Bags of Fun. Bags of Fun are filled with educational, interactive, and silly toys that give a child a better day, a smile, and something to focus on other than their illness. To parents carrying a heavy burden, the bags bring relief, joy, and a sense that someone understands. The Gabby Krause Foundation was started to fulfill Gabbys wish that every child have a Bag of Fun, and the foundations goal is to expand Bags of Fun to other cities.
