Chelsea Hicks Foundation - Chelsea's Closet

Chelsea Hicks Foundation - Chelsea's Closet A therapeutic dress-up and play program bringing hope & healing to seriously ill kids in children’s hospitals ♥️🐒 Or even mini parades.

The Chelsea Hicks Foundation was created in 2009 to inspire hope and healing to seriously ill children and their families. Jason and Alison Hicks watched their youngest daughter Chelsea go through 22 months of cancer treatment. In doing so, they witnessed the joy and how her spirit and attitude were lifted when she knew her cousins were coming to the hospital to play dress up with her. Chelsea was

able to get other children at the hospital to play dress up with her also. Doctors and nurses would help with dress up/ tea parties in the hallway alcoves. Giving them special treats to eat and complimenting them on their creative costumes. When Chelsea passed away from childhood cancer in February 2009 her family did not want that experience and those memories to be just for them. They thought other families needed those memories for their children as well. Those children battling a serious illness need something special to do. We created the Chelsea Hicks Foundation to brighten the lives of seriously ill children with programs designed to add fun and create lasting memories for the whole family. Please join our cause and help us to inspire hope and healing through dress up and play. See how you can donate or help on our donations page on our website.

Some stories stay with you long after the cameras stop rolling.

One of the greatest privileges of filming my first American Dream TV episode was spending time with Alison Hicks and learning more about the heart behind the Chelsea Hicks Foundation.

Behind every interview is a meaningful conversation, shared purpose, and people who are making a real difference in the lives of others. Those are the stories I love telling.

Thank you, Alison, for opening your heart and sharing Chelsea's legacy with us. It was an honor to help shine a light on the incredible work your foundation is doing.

Be part of the story. Join us at the Chelsea Hicks Foundation Costume Ball & Gala on October 10 and help us create more moments of hope and joy for seriously ill children. Get your tickets at https://cb2026.auctria.events/

👑 DASH WORTHY? WE THINK SO.

Things could get a little competitive at this year’s Dessert Dash… and we may have found one very good reason why. 😍

Twisted Croissant & Patisserie is bringing a Tahitian Vanilla Basque Cheesecake to the kingdom! 👑✨

Rich. Creamy. Fragrant Tahitian vanilla. That gorgeous caramelized finish.

Basically, the kind of dessert that might have you plotting your table’s dash strategy before dinner even starts! 🤣

So… who at your table is wearing the running shoes? 👟

❤️ Some stories deserve to be shared.

One of the most meaningful moments from my first American Dream TV episode was the opportunity to sit down with Alison Hicks, founder and executive director of the Chelsea Hicks Foundation, at the beautiful Oregon Golf Club.

Together, we talk about the heart behind the foundation, the impact it's making, and how a community can come together to bring hope during life's most difficult moments.

This is just a glimpse of a conversation that truly inspired me.

✨🪄 Something sweet is brewing in the kingdom…

Too Sweet Cakes is working a little magic for our Dessert Dash, but exactly what they’re creating is still a fairytale secret. 🎂✨

A cake fit for a princess? Something wickedly delicious? A little happily ever after? 👑

What’s your guess?

And as for what it really is…
only your fairy godmother knows. 🪄✨
