The National Association for Business Resources has selected Kids Kicking Cancer, a global non-profit dedicated to reducing pain and stress in children with cancer and chronic illnesses, as a recipient of Michigan’s Best and Brightest in Wellness Award. This unique program highlights organizations that promote a culture of wellness; and those that plan, implement, and evaluate efforts in employee and client wellness to make their business and the community a healthier place to live and work.
The 2022 winning companies were evaluated by an assessment created and administered by leading wellness systems firm. Entries are examined statistically for quantitative and qualitative data. Each survey was scored on a point system based upon criteria to benchmark and improve wellness program effectiveness. They include outcomes, analysis, tracking, participation and incentives, benefits and programs, leadership, employee input, culture, and environment.
Rabbi G. (Elimelech Goldberg), founder and global director of Kids Kicking Cancer, explained his enthusiasm: “Our mission is to ease the pain of children. Our evidenced based methods are simple. Our continued recognition allows other to step forward and assist us in reaching more and more very beautiful boys and girls in pain.”
Kids Kicking Cancer was selected for their company commitment as a leader in wellness programming offered to paediatric patients 3-18+ years old who are suffering from cancer and other paediatric illnesses such as sickle cell, haemophilia, chronic pain, GI issues, and organ transplants. Their therapeutic intervention centres on martial arts meditation and mindfulness practices that are proven to be effective at reducing pain, anxiety and distress in adults and children.
Kids Kicking Cancer will be honoured during the Illuminate Business Summit as an award winner on November 9, 2022.
