Project Title: Teen Support Bags
Project Description:

Teenagers with cancer fall through the cracks between the younger pediatric patient support and the adult support programs. Founder, Nikki, was 17 when she formed the foundation in September 2010 after her own cancer diagnosis earlier that year.

Her main focus was and still is to help teens feel more supported by receiving our Teen Support Bag with items chosen specifically for teenagers. Each bag contains items such as: journal, adult coloring book, knit cap, water bottle, playing cards, game book, ear buds, stress ball, fuzzy socks, free t-shirt coupon, and more. Each bag costs the foundation $85.

Our highly popular Teen Support Bag provides inspiration and support for teenagers with all cancers across the country. Currently, we have almost 200 hospitals/centers in our network that distribute our Teen Support Bags to teenagers in every state. Our Teen Support Bags have been given to almost 12,000 teenagers so far, as of early 2024!

The positive feedback that we receive from hospital staff and parents, along with the teenagers, is extremely positive. The social workers and Child Life Specialists even tell us that the bag helps patients open up to conversations that they had not be willing to have.

Your grant will enable us to ship out bags to 50 more teen cancer patients. Thank you!

Project Title: Charitable Immunization Program
Project Description:

Community Nursing Services (CNS) has provided compassionate health and hospice care in Utah for 95 years and life-saving immunizations for 30 years. The CNS Immunization Program meets individuals in need where they are, from population-dense cities to rural towns throughout the state. Each year, we host 1,800 – 3,000 mobile immunization clinics throughout Utah, providing vaccinations to 50,000+ individuals and charitable vaccinations to 10,000+ uninsured or underinsured individuals.

Many Utah citizens report not having access to immunizations because of a lack of insurance and funds to pay for vaccines. The CNS Charitable Immunization Program bridges the gap in access to immunizations. Our Charitable Immunization Program focuses on keeping kids in school by providing charitable immunizations required for enrollment. Many people who come to us for charitable immunizations are single parents hoping to get their children vaccinated so they can enroll in school. Others in need include individuals without insurance or the funds to pay for vaccinations. The most common charitable vaccinations we administer are COVID-19, influenza, HPV, pneumonia, and tetanus.

The impact the CNS Charitable Immunization Program has on our community is ongoing and, in some cases, everlasting. We respectfully invite the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Family Foundation to help us meet the increasing need for charitable immunizations in the community in the coming year by contributing to our program.

Project Title: Fresh Force Summer Internship; A Multimodal Arts Intensive
Project Description:

Despite idyllic images of freedom from homework, summer can sometimes mean students lose educational momentum, especially those who are underserved to begin with. Refresh Collective employs Teaching Artists who work hard all school year with students, and we want to continue providing opportunities in the summer. This is why we are establishing the Refresh Collective Fresh Force Summer Internship program.

It is important to note that this program will be extending our already funded and impactful work during the school year, rather than starting something new. The settings and hours may differ, but our Teaching Artists who will be involved in the summer programming are experienced and skilled. The Hermanowski Foundation would be making it possible to continue quality engagement with students in the summer.

The is a multimodal arts and work force development program offered to students with disabilities and from underserved populations in Cincinnati. This intensive summer employment experience includes unique career exposure opportunities in Digital Recording Arts, Screen Printing + Embroidery, & Hydroponic Horticulture.
During this six week internship, students will cycle through 3 unique and exciting sites:
• Refresh Collective Print Shop + Embroidery, where they will design and hand print original apparel while learning about the design and print industry.
• Refresh Collective Recording Studio Classroom @ Aiken High School, where they will write, compose, record and perform original Hip-hop songs with their peers while being mentored by Refresh Teaching artist’s. They will be immersed in our cypher style curriculum, where more than 12,000 students have growth in social emotional health, while harnessing the power of their own story and delivering it through song.
• Aiken High School’s Nationally Recognized Horticulture Program, where students will work together to plant, tend to and grow their own hydroponic urban garden.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Project Title: K.I.N.D.E.R.(Kids in Need of Durable Equipment Right now) Project
Project Description:

Since its inception in 2011, the K.I.N.D.E.R Project has provided almost $3 million worth of medical equipment to over 4,000 pediatric patients. Without access to such equipment, the health of many of these children would drastically deteriorate. Our equipment helps bring back some normalcy for the children we serve, often allowing them to walk the halls of their schools and be included in recreational activities with their peers.
Providing children with access to adaptive equipment that their doctors have prescribed for them- but cannot otherwise obtain- continues to be a critical part of the health care continuum, as it increases their quality of life. When intercepted at an early age, DME can provide therapeutic benefits and improved quality of life. This life-changing equipment can be used to support, stabilize, or immobilize certain body parts, thus assisting with improved mobility and is critical to a child’s present development. Not only a benefit for the present, DME also has the power of offering a child a better life experience in the future.
For example, providing an infant who has cerebral palsy with appropriate braces from an early age can prevent deformity, enabling the child to learn to walk. Without these braces, as a child grows, they often become debilitated. This causes permanent damage to their muscles and nerves, preventing them from ever walking on their own.
Additionally, families and caregivers need equipment that is lightweight, convenient, and easy to handle while providing comfort, safety and mobility for their child. Such equipment can be so expensive that even a family with good insurance can have difficulty obtaining it. For example, insurance companies will not cover both a wheelchair and an adaptive transit stroller, but a child with special needs almost always needs both to ensure their health, safety, mobility, independence, and dignity.
