The Maine CSL KICKS! is a program that originally created “buddies”, pairing members with a child receiving treatments for cancer at Maine Medical Center and the new transfusion center in Scarborough. Volunteering is approximately 3-5 hours a week while the buddy is receiving treatments. It has since expanded to include a relationship with Make-A-Wish ™ , in which M1s in Boston will be able to help grant wishes and volunteer, often in a virtual capacity. Furthermore, KICKS! has been developing creative programming events to encourage connections between Make-A-Wish ™ alumni families and community members. This club will continue expanding opportunities for students to gain CSL hours, while also raising awareness, fundraising, and creating relationships that make a difference for children living with cancer, and their families.
