About us

We are already 10 years old!

“Rimantas Kaukėnas Charitable Foundation” is a nonprofit charity that provides help to seriously ill children. We communicate closely with families raising children with oncological, genetic and other critical diseases and provide the necessary support. In order to bring joy to the daily life of such children, we fulfill their most secret dreams and believe that good emotions, children’s meetings with their favorite heroes, singers or athletes give them even more strength to fight.

We fulfill children's
dreams

We believe that good emotions help to get away from the difficult everyday life for a while and feel better. We fulfill the dreams of seriously ill children, turning the most secret and unexpected wishes into reality.

We provide immediate assistance

We provide assistance to the families of seriously ill children, providing all the help they need at that time. We provide care facilities, medicines, rehabilitation, and we also help emotionally to survive a period full of uncertainty.

We cooperate with medical institutions

In order to improve the quality of treatment for many patients, we cooperate with the National Cancer Institute (NVI), VUL Santaras clinics, LSMU Kaunas clinics. We are happy that our close friendship helps us to move forward towards more modern, convenient and accurate research and treatment.

We organize events and projects

The activities of the foundation are inseparable from the events during which we not only meet the large community of the foundation, our heroes and their parents, but also encourage them to actively spend their free time, be friends and at the same time contribute to meaningful initiatives, sharing warmth with others.
