Donations are NOT REQUIRED but are ALWAYS WELCOME. In just one year, we began as a Relay for Life team and now have our own operations facility that evolved out of sheer demand.

What We Do At this location, teenagers volunteer and run all functions of the Hugs and Kisses Center which produces our own unique, trademarked bracelets that we give to our donors. They are also mentored in all parts of the business including accounting, finance, marketing, fulfillment, website development, etc.

Why It’s Important Right now, in your community, there are people who can survive their cancers – with existing technology – if they could afford to hold on. But if they can’t afford to hold on, there’s always HUGS and KISSES.

Funds raised for Hugs and Kisses, Inc. cover living expenses for cancer patients in desperate financial need. Students also qualify for scholarships based on their commitments to Hugs and Kisses. And scholarships are also available for children of families affected by cancer.

Earn a Free Day at Disney: We are registered at vop.handsonnetwork.org so you can volunteer in the Give a Day, Get a Disney Day program. Among other activities, we host “Parties with a Purpose” where families or friends design and make HUGS and KISSES bracelets.

Now Don’t Keep This a Secret. Please tell your friends and family wherever they are as our programs benefit people across America. Funds are always returned to the region from which they originate. Grants to Hugs and Kisses, Inc. allow us to assist patients beyond any amount of donations raised.

Donation of estimated 2,000,000 buttons arrived

Dasco Manufacturing Shipment

Dasco Manufacturing Shipment

We are so very humbled and further encouraged beyond words upon receiving a corporate donation of about 2,000,000 buttons from Dasco Manufacturing today.  Dasco manufactures the sewing kits that our military uses to maintain their uniforms.

These are buttons that were in their active inventory until uniform changes rendered these buttons obsolete.  They found us online.  This donation enables us to introduce a new military-themed line of bracelets to honor, support or remember active and veteran soldiers and their families who won, lost, or are still in a fight with cancer.  These new donated buttons will yield over 160,000 HUGS and KISSES bracelets in thanks for $1,500,000 in donations to the cancer patients we support.

If you donate via the PayPal link on this page, someone will call you to discuss available styles.

This marks the 4th unsolicited donation of buttons from corporations who recognize our efforts as deserving of support.  Every time this type of donation occurs, we increase the number of themed-lines of bracelets to attract donations from a wider audience.

To date, the corporations who have donated in chronological order are: Sher Plastics, Tiger Button Company, Dyno Merchandise, and now Dasco Manufacturing.

We’re introducing several Holiday bracelets in time for the 2009 season.  One we’re most proud of is “Soldiers Christmas” which uses authentic military uniform buttons with Christmas colors.

We thank these companies for their selfless generosity.  On behalf of the patients we support, we wish the very best for these companies and many HUGS AND KISSES to the people they employ this Holiday Season.

Surprising FAST Results for Prostate Drug

http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/06/first-human-trials-of-prostate-cancer-drug-shock-doctors/

This link above is to a report on 2 people with terminal cases of prostate cancer who recovered completely after trying a new drug.  Prior to taking the medicine, both had tumors so large, they were determined to be inoperable.  With only one dose, the size of the tumor reduced enough to be operable.

Donate Buttons to Fight Cancer

So many of us have loose buttons that are just too valuable to throw out — but aren’t going to be put to use any time soon.

Here’s a chance to donate them to a cause that raises funds for cancer patients. We turn them into HUGS and KISSES – button bracelets we give as Thank You gifts for donations to our charity.

We need button donations as much as we need monetary donations. That minimizes our costs and maximizes our donations to patients.

Thank you in advance. Use “Comment” or “Contact us” to make arrangements.

Hugs and Kisses
