Raffy’s Kids Foundation

Raffy’s Kids Foundation To provide aid & assistance for those children and their families in need due to life challenges.

The Raffy’s Kids Foundation was officially founded on May 19, 2022, from the vision of the organization's namesake Dave “Raffy” Rafalski and expanding on his childhood dream and formation of Raffy’s Candy Store. In 2015, Dave’s childhood and lifelong dream of opening a candy shop came to fruition in New Lenox, Illinois. The “Raffy’s” dream and legacy has been Blessed in many ways and the families

goal is to continue their journey by paying these blessings forward, especially through the creation of this foundation focusing on children with a special need and to simply help put a smile on their faces! Mission: Our goal is to provide aid & assistance for those children and their families in need due to life challenges faced in unfortunate circumstances. With being current contributors and proud of other children organizations, we may also use this foundation to donate to other charities that we support i.e. Children’s Miracle Network, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Apraxia Kids, etc. We are so Thankful and Blessed to have this opportunity in hopes of giving-back and paying it forward!
