About Us

Thykidz, Inc. is a non-profit organization established in honor of three Trenton, OH children, who were all diagnosed with Papillary Carcinoma within months of each other. It is our mission to raise awareness about Thyroid Cancer and to raise funds that will be used in the fight against cancer.

Many thanks to all who have joined in our battle and believe in our mission.
