Support Kesem on
Giving Tuesday
This Giving Tuesday, we can #GiveKidsKesem.
For 25 years, Kesem has been committed to creating supportive communities and transformative experiences for children who have or have lost a parent to cancer. While we can’t take away cancer, and we can’t know the outcome of a parent’s cancer journey, we can bring children together who uniquely understand each other for life-changing experiences at our virtual, day, and overnight summer camp programs.
With your support, we can...
Give kids understanding.
Give kids adventure.
Give kids connection.
Give kids hope.
Learn more and join us on Tuesday, December 3 for Giving Tuesday.


Make a pledge today to help us reach our Giving Tuesday #GiveKidsKesem goal and provide life-changing support to even more Kesem families. You can pledge to donate, fundraise, or get your company involved!

Spread the word about #GiveKidsKesem by sharing our campaign on social media and inviting others to join in supporting kids impacted by a parent’s cancer.

Shop our limited edition #GiveKidsKesem merchandise, and the proceeds will go towards creating the Kesem Magic for children in need.
Kesem aims to serve 8,000 children this year through our virtual, day, and summer camp programs.
A message from Kesem's CEO Jay Stilwell
"We can give kids hope, adventure, and a community that understands."

Celebrating 25 Years of
Kesem Magic
As we come together this Giving Tuesday, we’re also celebrating a milestone – Kesem’s 25th Anniversary! For a quarter-century, Kesem has brought joy, connection, and healing to thousands of children impacted by a parent’s cancer. It’s a testament to the power of community, compassion, and unwavering support from people like you.
Over the past 25 years, Kesem has grown from a single chapter to a national movement, all while staying true to our mission of supporting kids through and beyond their parent’s cancer journey. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to honor our legacy and be part of the next chapter by making a gift that ensures Kesem’s magic continues for many years to come.
Together, we can make the next 25 years even more impactful!
"Kesem is such an incredible organization! As a Mom that has had breast cancer twice, this organization has been instrumental in supporting not only my 2 boys, but my family as a whole. Cancer isn’t just a diagnosis for the patient… our children are also greatly affected and need support!"

About Giving Tuesday
Giving Tuesday was founded in 2012 through a partnership of New York’s 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation. The goal of this partnership was to find a way for the world to give back following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. More information about Giving Tuesday can be found at givingtuesday.org.
Thanks to our generous supporters across the country, Kesem has raised over $7 million as part of Giving Tuesday since 2013.
