Bags of Fun

Bags of Fun The Gabby Krause Foundation celebrates the healing power of Joy, Laughter, and Love through Bags of Fun. The signature project of the foundation is Bags of Fun.

We started in 2004 to fulfill Gabby’s wish for every child have a Bag of Fun. Thanks to you, we've delivered 15,000 bags to kids facing illnesses! The Gabby Krause Foundation is a network of caring people who want to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer and other long-term childhood illnesses. Bags of Fun are filled with educational, interactive, and silly toys that give a child

a better day, a smile, and something to focus on other than their illness. To parents carrying a heavy burden, the bags bring relief, joy, and a sense that someone understands. Children are referred to the Bags of Fun program through our ever-expanding network of affiliate hospitals and upon special request.

Sometimes volunteering is about more than stuffing bags—it is about understanding the impact behind every item💫

These incredible volunteers came together, with our awesome donor Passage Wealth Partners, to fill Mental Health Bags of Fun with thoughtfully selected items that encourage comfort, coping, creativity, and connection for teens facing mental health challenges.

Afterward, they had the unique opportunity to tour the Denver Health Adolescent Psychiatry Unit and see firsthand where these Bags are making a difference.

Thank you to PWP and our volunteers for packing every Bag with purpose and to Denver Health for giving us a deeper look at the important work happening every day. 💚💜

When we understand the need, the impact means even more!

Meet 16 year old, Jesus! He is being treated for Multiple Sclerosis at Denver Health Medical Center.
Jesus wrote us a nice note after his bag delivery...
"I appreciated the items that you guys gave me and I bring the "personalized" bag every single day to school!!!! (I started a week ago). I think it's important because it showed at the time that there were people who cared. Whenever I look at the bag it reminds me of how much time and dedication a team took that day and it also reminds me that people care even if it doesn't seem visible."
Stay strong Jesus 💪
