ABOUT KIM

Kim Troisi-Paton was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in May 2005. After being featured in the 2007 Colondar, a project of The Colon Club, Kim discovered her passion to educate young adults that colorectal cancer can happen to anyone at any time. In December 2006, Kim was diagnosed with an aggressive recurrence, but it didn’t slow her down. While going through chemo, she worked tirelessly as an amazing wife, mother, attorney and author. After a two-and-a-half-year battle, Kim passed away on August 10, 2007.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Kimberly Fund was established by Kim’s family and friends as a way to honor her memory. The Fund was created to give children whose parent is facing colorectal cancer/passed away from colorectal cancer a chance to put cancer aside, even for just a moment, and be a kid again.

100% of all donations made to the Kimberly Fund will be restricted and applied toward Kimberly Fund grants.

Kimberly Fund grants are available to families or children (with the help of a parent or guardian) who have been impacted by a parent or primary caregiver being diagnosed or passed away from colorectal cancer. Applications are reviewed yearly in October and grants are awarded in November.
