Benefits
The Children's Art Project's highest priority is ensuring young patients have opportunities to live a more normal childhood. Each year, the programs funded through sales touch more than 26,000 pediatric patients and families. Since 1973, CAP has contributed more than $30 million to fund patient-focused programs at MD Anderson.

Products
New designs appear every season. Greeting and note cards remain a mainstay, but product lines also include tote bags, silk scarves, ties, ceramics, and other items. CAP also offers Radko and resin ornaments, picture frames, and holiday-inspired products.

Audience
Thousands of individual supporters and companies have become regular customers. CAP has been featured on numerous television and radio programs, as well as in newspapers and magazines across the country. CAP cards and gifts are sold in more than 2,000 retail outlets in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Florida and a few locations in Arkansas.

Volunteers
CAP is grateful for the thousands of community volunteers who contribute their time and talents year-round. On average, volunteers donate more than 450,000 hours each year– the equivalent of 232 full-time employees. Volunteers may work weekly addressing catalogues for delivery, handling the packaging of more than 16,000 customer orders, or may choose to volunteer on special one-time projects. More than 2,000 grocery stores, service stations, banks, community groups, gift shops and other businesses lend their support by promoting and/or selling the cards as a public service.
