Holiday Cards Benefit Cancer Center
Patients at The Children’s Hospital Honored For Their Seasonal Designs
Patients with cancer at The Children’s Hospital have designed holiday cards to benefit the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The five winning artists, ranging in age from nine to 16-years-old, will be honored and awarded at this year’s fundraising event.
Each year, patients from the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders craft holiday designs, and the winning designs are transformed into holiday cards and sold between October and January. This year’s winners include: Caitlin Cameron, 16 (two winning designs), Anise Fletcher, 16 (two winning designs), Adam Flicker, 9, Kelly Marston, 9, and Luis Mendoza Gomez, 10. In addition to winning the holiday card design contest, the artists will receive a cash award and a special plaque from the Holiday Card Project.
Proceeds from the sale of greeting cards help to fund a range of services at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Last year, proceeds helped fund patient care items, such as wigs, medical bracelets, and eye exam equipment, as well as, teaching materials and equipment for the research department.
Cards may be purchased on-line at www.holidaycardproject.com, by calling 720-777-6887 or 800-624-6553, ext 6887, or by visiting the hospital gift shop at 13123 East 16th Avenue .
