About Jill Addeo and KidKupz
KidKupz™ takes the ick out of sick™! The inspired creation of a mother-grandmother team, KidKupz™ provides parents with a safe and easy way of administering liquid medicines – and simultaneously offers children a treat that makes taking medicine enjoyable! This truly unique product was inspired by company president and co-founder Jill Addeo's late stepfather, who was a volunteer on the pediatric floor at a major New York hospital. His work there exposed him to the difficulties children face when taking necessary medication. He spoke often of wishing that he could find a way to make the process easier. In 2006, Jill and her mother, Jo-Ann devised an ingenious way to make his dream a reality: KidKupz™.

We Want Your Feedback!
Posted July 7th, 2009 by Jill Addeo | No Comments »Since we launched KidKupz, many of you have placed orders from our Web store and we can’t wait to hear from you!
What do you think and most importantly, what do your kids think? What are their favorite flavors? My daughter loves the Sour Cherry and my son is a Blue Raspberry fan…I think he feels he should like the most “manly” color. My daughter is now 8 and my son is 10, so they have become more and more able to take medication without the hysteria we used to experience but the process is much less stressful with the help of KidKupz.
Anyway, we really want to hear your stories and your experiences so please keep in touch!

Exciting News!
Posted May 4th, 2009 by Jill Addeo | No Comments »I am so pleased to report that since our feature appeared in April’s Parents Magazine, we have heard from several pediatric practices that would love to offer KidKupz in their offices for moms and dads to try. Some practices have even told us they would like to feature KidKupz in their monthly newsletters so that parents know there is help out there. Could it be that maybe the pediatric community is also looking to for a way to reduce the screaming and crying that they endure daily in their offices?
I’ll keep you posted as to the feedback that we get.

A Great Day for Kidkupz…
Posted May 2nd, 2009 by Jill Addeo | No Comments »Today was one of those times when I remembered why I developed this product in the first place. After 3 years of uphill battles, road blocks, frustration and hard work I am humbly reminded of why it all began.
I received a call from a mom in the New York area who had read about KidKupz and ran to her local pharmacy only to discover that he did not yet have the product as it was so new, but he assured her that he would have it soon. This mom needed it today. Her 3 year old daughter was heading to the hospital in 4 days for some tests that she had to endure every three months as part of her follow up from a battle with a pediatric cancer called neuroblastoma. These tests require that her daughter take some horrible tasting drops for 3 days prior to going to the hospital. Her daughter struggles with the drops every time and her mom had tried everything possible. We were able to rush a box of KidKupz to this family and today I received an email from mom letting me know that the KidKupz were a big hit. Her daughter loved them and instead of tears and drama, she sat and licked the rim. HOORAY! The mom thanked us and said she couldn’t wait to share KidKupz with the many other families struggling with the same thing as her daughter.
This is truly my dream come true!
