Donate new coats now through November 2 🧥🧣🧤

Help keep kids warm this winter season by donating new coats, hats, and gloves to children undergoing cancer treatment and their siblings.

With so much uncertainty in their world, these coats will make a huge impact on our families, as one less thing to think about and buy for the kids.

Visit 🔗 friendscoats26.givesmart.com to register to shop for one child or a whole family. New coats will be added to the list daily, so be sure to check back often!

Don't want to shop? We'll shop for you! Monetary donations are gladly accepted.

Many things stay the same at Art from the Heart — great food and drinks, good company, and warm feelings raising funds for a great purpose. But you never know what our artists will create with their art therapist and what you'll find on display for auction.

As our artists grow, their understanding of their experiences changes. Their artistic abilities and motor functions change, as well as their interests. That's why you'll see anything from expressive finger painting to intricate collages dedicated to friends. Alongside each piece is a statement from each artist, sometimes one short sentence, and sometimes many paragraphs long.

Meet Jaden, Jackie, Chloe, Harley, Goldie, & Henley with artwork by Goldie. 👏👏👏

You may see some familiar faces at Art from the Heart. Year after year, kids and young adults who work with art therapists are invited to create and submit artwork for the art auction.

These meaningful and generous contributions to Art from the Heart not only help raise funds to provide art therapy to many other kids. Donating this artwork also helps kids feel seen and celebrated, and for families who have lost an artist, often feel they are sharing a meaningful legacy.

"Art from the Heart is a poignant opportunity to witness their strength, courage, and resilience through their artwork, and how the experience celebrates and honors these young patients during their journey with cancer," explained Natasha Westrich Hanson, art therapist for Mercy Cardinals Kids, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Center.

Come ✨see, ✨celebrate, and ✨honor legacies at Art from the Heart on the evening of September 17.

Meet Piper, Harlem, LillyJean, Jozie, Elliana, & Denyia with group artwork by Lena, Jamie, Damira, LillyJean, Dani, Piper, Henley, Denyia, & Chloe 👏👏👏
