Kidz b Kidz inspires kids to create artwork from their hearts, to be used in products sold to fund medical breakthroughs and to save other kids’ lives.
Kidz b Kidz would like to thank everyone who participated in our holiday campaigns. Your generosity really did make a difference!
The Kidz b Kidz “double giving” was a great success. We were able to donate Kidz b Kidz tees to the Children’s Hospital Boston Center for Families, a department dedicated to helping families find the information and resources they need to understand their child's medical condition and take part in their care. The children loved their KbK tees and we like to think the tees brought some extra smiles to their faces. This was a true opportunity to “Double Give.” Not only did you brighten a child’s face with a whimsical tee, you will also supported Children’s Hospital Boston, one of the world’s largest pediatric research hospitals. All proceeds from the purchase of these Kidz b Kidz tees went directly back to the hospital.
We are also on our way to making the Kidz b Kidz Miracle 1000 a reality. We are on our way to raising one million dollars. For those of you who have placed your name on the M1K list, we thank you for helping us make this happen!

About Kidz b Kidz:. Cofounded by Nancy Corderman, a textile designer and Jan Weinshanker Kidz b Kidz is a “second act” in both of their lives. The pair is fulfilling their dream of devoting their talents to a cause they are passionate about: teaching children how they can use art to make a difference in the lives of other children. Sales proceeds that have come from KbK’s inaugural t-shirt, ceramics, children’s apparel and paper product lines, infused with cheerful and awe inspiring images created by children, have already provided funds for pediatric cancer research and hospital programs. As a new line of products is underway, Kidz b Kidz continues to expand its Kreative Kidz Workshops in schools, hospitals and community centers, where our young volunteers create the images used in KbK designs. Here they learn how their image is transformed into the final products that are sold in stores throughout the country to benefit Children’s Hospital Boston.
