Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation is a 501 (c)3 national organization founded in 1992 by Kathleen Casey and her son, Barrett "Bear" Krupa. Bear lost his life at 8 years old from Wilms Tumor, a pediatric cancer. Throughout the 5 1/2 year battle, Bear and his family saw the needs of pediatric cancer patients, their families and the facilities. It was Bear's dream to help others fighting this deadly disease. Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation is non-profit organization located in Chicago,IL and in its 14th year in which "Bear's" spirit lives on.

Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation's three main programs:

1. Annual funding of pediatric cancer research grants nationwide.
2. Annual funding for information and support service grants nationwide.
3. The Small Miracle Program - patients 0 to 19 years old being treated for in one of the eight Chicago area oncology/hospitals or are a resident of Illinois...a small miracle is an effort to brighten the lives of children and their families while battling this deadly disease. We offer them comfort and courage through everyday acts of caring, because we understand that the little things mean a lot.

Stop the Violence





Aug 27 2008 7:03 AM

A woman is beaten every nine seconds in the United States. Domestic violence is the most under-reported crime in the country, with the actual incidence 10 times higher than is reported.
Eighty percent of children who live in homes where domestic violence occurs witness the abuse.
Women in the U.S. are in nine times more danger in their own homes than they are in the street.
About 17 percent of women report experiencing physical or sexual violence during pregnancy.
Domestic violence is one of the nation's best kept secrets. Myths and misunderstandings abound. Knowing the facts is an important step toward breaking the cycle of violence.
Fact: Almost four million women are beaten in their homes every year by their male partners. Although the first violent incident may not be severe, once battering begins, it tends to increase in severity and frequency, sometimes leading to permanent injury or death. What may begin as an occasional slap or shove will turn into a pushy down the stairs, a punch in the face, or a kick in the stomach.
Fact: Battering is not about anger or losing control; it is an intentional choice focused on maintaining power and control in the relationship. Batterers manage not to beat their bosses or terrorize their friends when they are angry.
Fact: The batterer is responsible for the violence – not the victim. People are beaten for breaking an egg yolk while fixing breakfast, for wearing their hair a certain way, for dressing to nicely or not nicely enough, for cooking the wrong meal, or any other number of excuses. These incidents do not warrant or provoke violence. Even when you disagree, you do not deserve to be beaten. People who are battered do not want to be beaten.
Fact: Violence does occur in same sex relationships, and the issues of power and control are similar to those found in heterosexual relationships.
Homophobia allows us to trivialize the violence in same sex relationships and compounds the effects of the violence for t
