Our Mission - To convey to the public the compassionate, caring face of M.
D. Anderson Cancer Center and to generate revenue to enhance patient services through the
sale of products created with children's art.
Our
Vision -The Children's Art Project will make
life better for cancer patients and their families through the marketing and
sale of innovative products based on the artwork of pediatric cancer patients.
Your support of the Children's Art Project provides the means to send
children on a camping adventure - a week to forget about cancer and a week
to share experiences with friends - a week to do art - a week to laugh and
enjoy the wonders of summer!
For more than 35 years, the Children's Art Project at The University of Texas M.
D. Anderson Cancer Center has made life better for children with
cancer. Through worldwide sales of young cancer patients' original artwork
featured on seasonal note cards and gift items, the project has returned more than $26 million
to programs that benefit cancer patients and their
families. Each year, the project offers Holiday, Everyday and Valentine
collections of note cards and gift items.
Last year, card and gift sales funded $1.25 million in programs benefiting
M. D. Anderson patients. While the Children's Art Project's
highest priority is giving children with cancer opportunities to live a more
normal childhood and prepare successfully for adulthood, the project also
provides programs accessible to the more than 70,000 patients of all ages
served each year at M. D. Anderson.
Through the years, this network of support and friendship is very much a
part of the culture at the Children's Art Project. Friendships made sustain our
children through difficult treatments, little triumphs — and sometimes
through heartbreak. When you purchase cards and gifts from CAP you are helping us
fund many patient-focused programs at M. D. Anderson.
