Artists For Harmony has teamed up with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee to spend a day creating art with their courageous patients. Continuing our mission of providing everyone with a creative outlet, we are honored to have received this once in a lifetime opportunity to see the world through the eyes of these amazing children. “The mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay.” Click here to visit St. Jude’s website
