Why Crazy Socks Gift Bags?

Crazy Socks Gift Bag is KCCF's signature project, inspired by founder Elana's personal journey with cancer at the age of 7. While battling a rare and aggressive bone cancer, Elana was struck by how the dull hospital socks mirrored the monotony and sadness of her days.

The moment she got home, she would pull them off and throw them away, hoping to leave behind the needles, pain, and fear. She was determined to change that experience for other children fighting cancer. This is how the Crazy Socks Gift Bags movement started.

Elana gives a gift bag to a child in treatment.
