Donate cool, fun bandages for kids this July
Published on June 24, 2025
A bandage may seem small — but to a child battling cancer, it can mean everything.
When 6-year-old Noah Wilson was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, he quickly grew tired of the plain brown bandages that marked his daily treatments. He wanted something cheerful — something that made him smile. So, he turned that wish into a mission.
Noah started Noah’s Bandage Project, an organization that collects colorful bandages for kids and raises money and awareness for childhood cancer.
To Noah, a bandage was more than a medical item — it was a badge of courage, a form of self-expression, and a little piece of joy during tough days.
Although Noah passed away in 2015, his legacy continues to brighten the lives of children undergoing medical treatments.
This July, you can help make a difference by donating boxes of cool, fun bandages at any of the following Lenexa locations:
Donations will be accepted from July 1–31, 2025.
You can also contribute online. Just $2 covers the cost of one box of bandages, and all funds support pediatric cancer research.
This campaign is led by the City of Lenexa’s We Care Committee, a team of employees from every City department who organize events throughout the year to support local nonprofit organizations.
