Every community has people who shape it from the inside out. In the world of face painting, Pam Kinneberg is one of those people — and right now, she needs our help.

If you’ve ever met Pam, you already know the kind of presence she brings. There’s a rare mix of joy, kindness, and creativity in everything she does. For years, Pam has been a steady source of inspiration for artists across our industry — through her teaching, her encouragement, and her generous way of sharing knowledge with others.

She has contributed to the development of KrazeFX products, created and recorded hundreds of educational videos, and led countless webinars that have helped artists grow in skill and confidence. Along the way, she has supported and uplifted more people than can easily be counted.

On a more personal note, Pam is, without question, the most organized face painter I’ve ever met. And one of the most unforgettable moments from any webinar we’ve hosted was when her cat casually walked in and drank her face painting water mid-session. That moment perfectly captures Pam — incredibly talented, deeply warm, and just the right amount of chaos that makes her unforgettable.

In April, Pam was diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer. Since then, she has already completed two rounds of treatment and continues to face the journey ahead with remarkable strength and determination.

Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

We’re coming together as a community to help ease the financial burden of medical care, treatments, and travel expenses — so Pam can focus her energy where it matters most: healing and being with the people she loves.

No contribution is too small. Every donation, every share, every message of support truly makes a difference. If Pam has ever inspired you, taught you, or made you feel welcome in this community, this is our chance to give that care back to her.

Let’s show up for Pam the way she has shown up for so many of us.
