Kylie Fitzgibbons is Community Engagement Chair for Leia's Kids Foundation, a McKinney-based 501(c)(3) that supports children and families facing childhood cancer through financial grants, Royal Deliveries, young adult mental health retreats and a Hope Library. She connects businesses, sponsors, donors and volunteers to the cause.

Kylie Fitzgibbons serves as Community Engagement Chair for Leia's Kids Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in McKinney, Texas. The foundation was started by Leia Hunt Toellner, a two-time childhood cancer survivor who founded it at 18 while still in high school. Its stated mission is to bring hope, joy and support to children and families facing childhood cancer, and to remind every child they are loved, known and royal.

The programs are concrete. Financial grants help parents cover treatment travel, including clinical trials, and child care. Royal Deliveries send packages from Princess Marygold's Castle to children in treatment. All-inclusive mental health retreats serve adolescent and young adult patients ages 17 to 24, and a separate mother-daughter retreat is offered. The Hope Library publishes books and journals for children, including a grief journal for siblings. The foundation also advocates for federal childhood cancer legislation and sponsors North Texas families at Christmas.

Kylie's role is to bring the community in: gala sponsors, business partners, donors, teachers and student volunteers. The annual fundraiser is the Hope in the Kingdom Royal Ball in Frisco. Her day job is hospitality experience strategy and keynote speaking through Service with a Smile, which she founded.

I’ve watched Leia’s Kids dedicate themselves to the children and their families battling childhood cancer for over a year now. This is a non profit with its heart in right place. Leia and her staff are committed to helping these families with everything they can possibly do to make life better in a situation I could never imagine myself dealing with. Leia’s Kids is a non profit that is local to Texas and we all should give generously to this effort. Talk about doing the right thing. This is a great cause!

Leia is a superstar in the ministry & non-profit world. Take a moment and imagine a doctor tells your little boy or girl has stage 4 cancer and isn't going to survive. Leia comes along side these families in crisis, help facilitate a "crowning party", asks about that families greatest need & delivers!!! WOW!!! But what makes her so special is she went through this as a child and the empathy and cc I've witnessed is one of the most Christ-like things I've ever had the privilege to see with my own eyes.
