September 2024 – Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Kids & Art Foundation celebrates September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness, raising funds to support children and families impacted by cancer, and honoring our resilient young warriors. Please help us impact children with cancer with your generous contributions.

Impact Children’s Lives

Your donation directly supports free art experiences that bring joy and healing to children battling cancer. These experiences help reduce anxiety, manage emotional pain and improve overall quality of life.

The Need is Urgent

Childhood cancer impacts thousands of newly diagnosed families every year, and the need for emotional and psychological support is immense. By donating today, you ensure that more children can access these vital art experiences during their toughest times.

Make a Personal Connection

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. Your generosity helps:

  • Patients get a break from social isolation at a destination workshop at places like Chabot Space and Science Center or the Oakland Zoo, or patients receive a monthly Amaeyzing ArtKit project while isolated at home
  • Artists-In-Residence turn waiting rooms into vibrant studios where patients can express themselves and find hope
  • Send Amaeyzing ArtKit projects to patients at children’s cancer treatment centers across the country.

Thank you for your support of Kids & Art patients during September Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Your generosity transforms the lives of children battling cancer and their families.
