Give Back and Make a Difference

Each year in the U.S., an estimated 15,780 children between birth and 19 years of age diagnosed with cancer. Kids & Art provides supportive, hands-on arts experiences designed to bring a creative boost of positivity, normalcy, and joy to children with cancer and their families. Our programs focus on giving agency and control in the moment, community building, connection, and helping our families feel less isolated, anxious, and fearful.

“GIVE IN SEPTEMBER”

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. We are not waiting for GivingTuesday this year; instead we will launch our signature giving campaign, "Give in September," on September 1 through the entire month. 

During this month we hope to raise the funds needed to expand access to healing art experiences, especially our rapidly growing Amaeyzing ArtKits @Home program that currently has a waiting list for families needing this essential resource during their child’s cancer treatment.

We hope we can count on your kindness and generosity to raise funds to support the creative arts programs we provide for kids with cancer and their families.

Here are OTHER ways you can “GIVE IN SEPTEMBER”:

  • Become a sponsor of Art Heals Day. Learn more.

  • Host a Peer-to Peer-fundraiser

  • Get your company involved.  Learn how.

  • Amplify our message and reach out to your community via email and social media and post why you donate to Kids & Art.
