KIC Leukemia was founded In March of 2008, as a living memorial to Kari Imhoff-Crewe. Kari was diagnosed with leukemia in late February of 2007 and passed away six months later after fighting a heroic battle against this horrible disease.

KIC Leukemia’s goals are simple, and were designed based on ideas and observations provided by Kari during her battle:

• To Raise awareness of Leukemia’s symptoms and treatments
• To Raise awareness of the need for potential marrow donors for those fighting leukemia, lymphoma and other life threatening illnesses.
• To actively recruit new marrow donors to the National Marrow Donor Registry
• And to provide support to those who are battling leukemia
