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™.

The “School Nutrition Association?” – I Did Not Know That…
Posted August 20th, 2009 by Jill Addeo | 1 Comment »One of the many small things in my life for which I am grateful, but give very little thought, is the fact that the cafeteria at my children’s school serves organic, healthy lunches. A few years ago, our very forward thinking Head of School made significant reforms to the school’s lunch menu to include things like low fat milk and water (no juices, whole grain breads or pastas) and dishes made with lots of beans and fresh produce from local farms just outside the city, in addition to produce grown by the kids on a rooftop greenhouse. The students (mine included) balked at first, but now, it has just become a part of their normal day and Fridays are special because it is the only day when a small homemade cookie or cupcake is served. Clearly this nutritional philosophy mirrors the nutritional guidelines that are slowly being implemented throughout the country but I had no idea what was really going on behind the scenes for children being served school lunches nationwide.
