A Little History

The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorder's Holiday Art Project was started in 1986 by a group of volunteers who wanted an annual fundraiser to support the Center's needs. The group began the project by transforming beautiful artwork created by patients of the Center into cards that could be sold in the retail industry. Five years later in 1991, the committee developed a corporate program as an additional fundraising opportunity. The corporate program was created to allow companies the opportunity to support the Center and obtain exclusive rights to their selected piece of artwork. Over the years the Project has grown in many ways.

One thing, however has remained the same...

The Art Project continues to be a volunteer-based program utilizing the expertise and passion of our community members, former patients, and hospital supporters in conjunction with Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders and Foundation staff liaisons in a variety of different capacities.

We need your help.

How Can My Store Help?

By selling the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders Art Project merchandise in your store. The Art Project merchandise line consists of holiday card assortment packs, note cards, ornaments, aprons and jewelry items. Your store can participate by selling one or more of our patient-created products. You can participate by selling the merchandise on a consignment basis or by purchasing the merchandise up-front. We will work with you to design a program that fits your retail needs.

Who Benefits From My Store's Participation?

The children of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, and their families, who struggle against the turmoil of a long-term disease that absorbs so much of their energy, time, and money. For many, the economic costs of treating cancer are as formidable as the diagnosis itself. Gifts like yours enable us to help these children in their ongoing struggle for life and hope and healing.

Why Should My Store Help?

Because this project is a clear win-win for all involved! Your company wins by selling items that reflect the true meaning of the holidays and by demonstrating a compassionate concern for our community. The Center receives vital financial support, and our young artists experience the thrill and pride of having their artwork purchased by the public.
