2024 – Lisa Tsuruoka
Lisa Tsuruoka is a dedicated volunteer who has spent hundreds of hours supporting our programs. She has assembled thousands of ArtKits, managed the packing of projects for children with bone marrow transplants, and appeared as a guest artist in the @home program. Earlier this year, Lisa completed extensive training and now creates with cancer patients at art workshops held in the Bass Center of Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. Lisa’s belief that the arts can transform and her commitment to helping medical families make her a perfect choice for the 2024 Amaeyzing Spirit Award.
