Overview
Mission
We offer healing art workshops, classes, and retreats that generate hope and motivation to those impacted by cancer. The workshops, classes, and retreats are solely funded through donations which allows us to offer our programs at no charge to our participants.
What it reported doing in 2024
Conducted nine virtual and three in-person workshops. Those workshops are hosted by certified facilitators who guided each participant through therapeutic art, mindful techniques, and unique conscious awareness methods that help the participants create abstract pieces of art by expressing their feelings and emotions on canvass. Also conducted three self-development retreats for cancer patients, caregivers, and survivors in the Colorado mountains. The purpose was to relieve stress and worries through various coping tools. We served 1,000 people through the workshops and retreats as well as attending various cancer conferences, symposiums, and coalitions.

- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
