The Kisses for Kyle Foundation of Willow Grove announced that it received a $5,000 grant and was selected as a Macy’s community partner for the grand opening of their Mount Laurel Centerton location on Thursday, April 18.

The foundation’s organizers invited 20 families facing a cancer diagnosis and three long-term community partners to participate in the celebration, which included a special shopping spree.

From the announcement:

Mike Menschner joined by his wife Marybeth with M ENTERTAINMENT, is our longest running community partner and friend as we celebrate a 25 year anniversary! Mike began supporting us several months after Kyle’s passing and has continued to love, care and support our families throughout each year by providing music, fun and entertainment at our special family events! Caitlin Quirk is an integral support to helping provide a full day of fun in Ocean City New Jersey to hundreds upon hundreds of our families for over a decade through Bowfish Kids as well as supporting our families in many ways all year long. She helped us be closer to Kyle’s very special spiritual place which we are eternally grateful for. Judy & Marc Morris host an annual Sharing Hope Dinner Dance at Maggiano’s minutes away from the new Macy’ Centerton location which provides crucial funding for our brain tumor fund in honor of Judy’s battle and survival many years ago! Each of our partners have become very close friends as well as supporters and are very valued to all of us.

We were joined by very special surprise guests too, the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic & his PHRIEND Kourage! It’s a true honor to work alongside Macy’s all year long to help our beloved families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. They are a beautiful golden partner!!
