Kids with Cancer, their families, and a local Music School are inviting you to be a part of this inspiring evening.

Kids with Cancer, their families, and a local Music School are inviting you to be a part of this inspiring evening – make a difference in your community.

Founder of Kids & Art - here’s the short version of her story: “After six years of battling cancer, my son Amaey passed away in September 2011 at the age of 9. Through Kids & Art, Amaey’s artwork has a lasting and powerful message of courage and spirit. My hope is that Kids & Art will create healing, a sense of peace and lasting memories for every family touched by cancer.

Whether we like it or not, kids do get cancer. We might not be able to take their cancer away but we can definitely be there for them through their journey. We hope you will support the cause.”
