Our Mission

Clement's Kindness Fund for the Children was established at the Community Foundation of Greenville to address the medical, psychological, social, emotional and financial needs of Upstate families impacted by pediatric cancer and other serious blood disorders. Since 2002, Clement's Kindness has provided help to hundreds of families, each in a unique way and specific to the individual needs of the family. Clement's Kindness has also provided over $1 Million dollars to the BI-LO Charities Children's Cancer Center and Bon Secours St. Francis Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Care Center (AYA) for various programs and to build and/or update areas at the hospital and at Camp Courage.

Some of the programs Clement's Kindness funds and support include:

SIP - School Intervention Program

The School Intervention Program provides assistance and guidance for patients and parents who are unfamiliar with available school services. In addition to the coordination of services, a school visit is offered to help administrators, teachers, school nurses and counselors understand the medical and psychosocial needs of the patient and to establish communication between the school and the medical staff. SIP also provides neurocognitive testing which assesses for problems with learning, skills, memory, attention, language skills, visual motor abilities, mood and behavior, and is used to provide a comprehensive picture of how a child functions and learns. The results are used to provide recommendations for the student.

STAR Bereavement - Someone To Always Remember

The STAR program is a monthly support group for families who have lost a loved one. The monthly meeting is led by Reverend Patrick Jinks and includes a meal and guest speaker program.
