Kesem is excited to participate in Giving Tuesday, a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities. On December 3, we invite and encourage our community to join us in sharing on social media so the magic of Kesem reaches more families facing a parent's cancer from coast-to-coast.
This toolkit has been developed for Kesem college-student leaders, staff members, and community supporters. It includes sample social media posts, key hashtags, and graphic assets available for download. It will be continuously updated, so we recommend bookmarking this tab and revisiting it as you post on your own social media profile and pages.

Understanding. Adventure. Connection. Hope. Joy.
Those are just a few things on an ever-growing list of what children impacted by a parent's cancer can expect at our programs - all completely free of charge to families served. 💚
We can't take away cancer, nor can we get rid of the heartache that comes with a parent's diagnosis, but we can offer an empowering, fun, safe place where children can go to be surrounded by others who understand exactly what they are going through.
That's why today on #GivingTuesday, we're coming together to #GiveKidsKesem. Join us as we bring more #KesemMagic to children at Kesem at [Chapter Name].
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day. We can't do it without you. ✨

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. Over that time, more than 200,000 student leaders, volunteers, donors, and supporters have joined us in creating meaningful moments and memories in the lives of more than 60,000 children and their families nationwide.

We continue to dream of a tomorrow where no child has to face a parent’s cancer. Until there is a cure, Kesem will be by their side, no matter what.
On our 25th anniversary, we invite you to share in these special moments that have made us, and make us, who we are. Join us in celebrating Kesem today, Kesem forever, Kesem Everlasting.

When a parent is diagnosed with cancer, we know that their first thought is often, "What about my kids?"
@Kesem is a child's friend through and beyond a parent's cancer. A national nonprofit with more than 120 local chapters in 41 states, Kesem provides programs and year-round support for thousands of kids facing a parent's cancer from coast to coast every year - and all completely free for families served, always.
No child should have to face a parent's cancer alone. If you know a family that might need Kesem, you can learn more and help us spread the word by visiting kesem.org now. #KesemMagic
Spring 2024
More than 5 million children in the United States are impacted by a parent's cancer - or 1 in every 15.
Research shows a cancer diagnosis has a significant impact on a household and highlights the need for a form of mental health support to help children cope with the drastic changes they may face - and while there are many resources and organizations dedicated to people with cancer, their children do not often receive the same level of support to address their unique mental and emotional health needs.
@Kesem is dedicated to this often underserved and growing population and provides programs and year-round support for thousands of kids facing a parent's cancer from coast to coast every year, at absolutely no cost to families served.
No child should have to face a parent's cancer alone. Learn more and help us reach more families that need Kesem by visiting kesem.org now. #KesemMagic

No children should ever have to face a parent's cancer alone, and at Kesem, they don't have to. 💙
Kesem is committed to creating fun and life-changing experiences that foster understanding, connection, and a lasting, supportive community for children impacted by a parent's cancer.
If you are a family, or you know a family, who needs #KesemMagic, more than 100 Kesem chapters from coast to coast are now accepting program applications for children ages 6-18 at no cost to families served, including #CampKesem, day programs, virtual-meet-ups and more.
