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™.
