Bags of Fun

Call Directions Website

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.

Today is World Mental Health Day!

Every month, we deliver 60 Bags of Fun to children and teens receiving mental health care at Denver Health Medical Center's Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Unit. That’s 720 moments of joy, comfort and connection every year for kids struggling.

Each Bag is thoughtfully created with items designed to encourage creativity, positive distraction, coping and play, all while reminding these kids during a difficult time that they are seen, supported and cared for.

Mental health matters. Joy matters. And every child deserves a reason to smile.

💫Today is National DAF Day! 💫
DAF Day is a nationwide philanthropic event held annually on the second Thursday of October. It mobilizes donors, nonprofits, and DAF providers to recommend grants from donor‑advised funds — one of the fastest‑growing charitable giving vehicles in the U.S.
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), recommending a grant to Bags of Fun is a simple and meaningful way to put your charitable dollars to work 🙏
Your DAF gift can help us fill backpacks with carefully selected toys, games, activities and comfort items for children facing serious medical and mental health challenges—giving them something every child deserves: the opportunity to play, smile and simply be a kid.
