ABOUT US
Katie's Kids operates under the Kaitlyn Eckelberry Memorial Fund 501(c)(3) based in Canton, Ohio. The non-profit was founded in 2020, after the tragic death of Kaitlyn Eckelberry (23 years old). At such a young age, Kaitlyn had already developed an amazing legacy of helping others. She loved to help those less fortunate and was greatly loved by many that called her a friend. Our mission is to continue her young legacy of caring, compassion, and lifting up the spirits of others by meeting small financial needs of school-aged children in the Stark County, Ohio area.

"I just gave my student the Dick's gift card for softball equipment from Katie's Kids and her response was like nothing I've ever seen before. Pure joy, gratefulness, and astonishment that someone would do this FOR HER."
