The TWO KIDS FOUNDATION is a non-profit organization based in Morris County whose mission is to help children who have been diagnosed with cancer and other serious health disorders. Our Story....
Fourteen years ago, our founder Arnold "Woody" DeTrolio and his wife sat in a hospital room with their son, who had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. During this time he was overwhelmed by the volunteer
s and hospital staff at Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC).“Who are these people?” he thought. They would show up every day to talk and bring something special to brighten his son's day. Woody said to himself “If I ever get the chance, I would like to give back and help others who are going through their own trying times”. While in the hospital, Woody and his son would talk for hours about restoring his son's car, a 1967 G.T.O. As the weeks and months went by in the hospital, they would look at books and magazines on car parts. They would talk about the day that his son would be able to come home and restore his G.T.O. That wonderful day came two and a half years later. That is when Woody put the two ideas together…cars and giving back. His son’s love for cars led to the idea of having a car show fundraiser.With the help of his friends and family his dream became a reality. In 2003 they hosted the first annual Whippany “Two Kids” Car Show on the grounds of the Birchwood Manor and it was a success. In 2005 the Two Kids Foundation became an established non-profit 501c corporation with the Federal and N.J. State government. In 2009 they expanded their events to help raise awareness and help more children with the first annual "Two Kids" Dinner Dance and Tricky Tray. In 2016, the organization plans to continue building awareness and helping more children with additional events.
