In a sea of NFT drops from big brands and celebrities, Cool Crypto Kids (CCK) is an NFT charity project with a real purpose. The limited-edition NFT collection will raise funds for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), one of the leading pediatric care facilities in the United States, to ease the burden of hospitalization costs for families and to support research in pediatric care.
Partnership with the LA innovation studio Kinestry, Cool Crypto Kids will be posting unique, hand-drawn NFTs created by the CHLA community – including current and former patients – for auction on Rarible, starting March 31. Half of all proceeds will be donated to CHLA, while the remaining funds will go to future CCK initiatives.
“When my mom died of cancer in 2017, our medical bills topped over $750,000 for just three weeks in the hospital,” said Jay Velasco, co-founder of CCK. “Our team believes that NFTs and Web3 are fundraising vehicles that can create equitable access to medical treatments and democratize research, which can really make a difference for low-income and vulnerable families.”
The team behind CCK hopes to introduce a modern philanthropic approach to fundraising for traditional medical research and a whole new way to cover expensive medical care, which can be financially crippling for families in need. CCK is also working on a second NFT drop, which will feature digital art created by high profile musicians, artists and influencers, across all mediums, who hope to support CHLA and the families in her care.
