Kier’s Kidz

Kier’s Kidz is a New Jersey-based nonprofit that supports children, adolescents, young adults, and families affected by cancer, primarily in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. The organization addresses practical needs during treatment while funding pediatric cancer research and improvements in patient care.

What They Do

Kier’s Kidz is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created in memory of Kiersten Hickman-Perfetti, who envisioned an organization that would help young people facing cancer and support efforts to find better treatments. Today, the organization provides direct assistance to children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer, as well as the family members who care for them.

One of the nonprofit’s primary services is providing gift cards for groceries, gas, and transportation expenses. These resources provide families with assistance for some of the practical costs that often accompany cancer treatment. Gift cards are distributed through affiliated pediatric oncology units and through direct requests from families. In addition, Kier’s Kidz connects families with other financial and community resources available to them.

Beyond direct family support, the organization funds pediatric cancer research and contributes to efforts to improve patient care facilities through partnerships with healthcare institutions and research organizations. Kier’s Kidz also works with student volunteers through initiatives such as Kier’s Kidz @ Rutgers, engaging young people in service and pediatric cancer awareness.

Kier’s Kidz is registered with the IRS as Kiers Kidz A NJ Nonprofit Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating under EIN 45-5436216. Additional information about its family assistance, research partnerships, and volunteer initiatives is available at www.kierskidz.com.
