In order to honor those kids that are battling cancer, several RSA members got together to draw some positive images and combine them with some uplifting messages. Card stock was bought, cut and folded to form appropriate size cards. The members met at a nearby park packed with all the supplies from paint and pens ready to get the project started. Additional cards were added during that week to make the project worthwhile.
This event is dear to our members’ hearts because childhood cancer affects still to this day an estimated 15,780 children between birth and 19 years of age according to the American Childhood Cancer Organization (acco.org). Even if treatments have gotten better over time, the treatment does affect the children and their families not only financially but also mentally and physically. With these cards, we hope to bring some light to the children’s faces affected by this terrible disease.
In total close to 50 cards were drawn and written with heartwarming messages.
