Chicago Fulton Grace Offices Toy Drive Helps Children with Cancer

Four Fulton Grace Real Estate offices in Chicago hosted a toy drive with the goal of helping children and teens fighting cancer. After the last toy had been picked up, a van load of toys and gifts were collected.

Fulton Grace is one of Chicago’s leading providers of comprehensive real estate services.

The POTCF is a unique organization whose services impact more than 14,600 young cancer patients in 61cancer treatment centers in 20 states across the nation and in the District of Columbia. Nowhere else in the nation does such a program exist. Colleen Kisel founded the organization in 1996 after her then seven-year-old son Martin had been diagnosed with leukemia in 1993. Ms. Kisel discovered that giving her son a toy after each procedure provided a calming distraction from his pain, noting that when children are diagnosed with cancer their world soon becomes filled with doctors, nurses, chemotherapy drugs, surgeries and seemingly endless painful procedures. Martin celebrated his 27th anniversary of remission from the disease in March of 2020.
