Dear Kids & Art Community,
What an incredible event we had on December 1st, as we celebrated the 10th anniversary of Kids & Art Foundation at Salesforce East's Ohana Floor. It was lovely to commemorate this milestone with friends new and old, and we are so grateful for all of the support.
We are incredibly thankful to our sponsors Trianz, Whamix, David Deutscher, Pixar Animation Studios, Perkins Coie, and the Perisic Family, and to our many in-kind sponsors Artist & Craftsmen, Avant Planners, Cavallo Point, Draeger's Market, Fete Fraiche, Jalsa Catering, Jensen & Novacic, Inc., New Dehli Restaurant, Nothing Bundt Cakes, One Brick, Salesforce, and Trader Joe's, Bay Street SF.
Thank you to our Special Guest, Catharine Clark, of Catharine Clark Gallery, our Guest Emcee, ABC7's Kristen Sze, and to our Guest of Honor, Kori Rae, from Pixar Animation Studios. Also, tremendous thanks to all of the volunteers who gave many hours to the event! Thank you to everyone who attended and celebrated with us.
This event would not have been possible without the dedication and heart of our entire Gala Committee and Event Team. Thank you to our Event Chair and Board Member, Teri Behm, to our Event Co-Chairs, Kiran Chadha and Rachel Handsman, and to our Event Team, Deborah Hopkins, Davina Moussa, Jade Kwan, Joe Moussa, Lauren He, Renae Davidson, and Sejal Desai. Thank you to Board Members Rinat Goren and Robert Owyang for your guidance and support. And lastly, a most heartfelt thanks to Purvi Shah, our Founder and Board Chair, who was there every step of the way in conceiving, planning and executing of this celebration. Thank you, Purvi, for positively impacting the lives of so many pediatric cancer patients and families and for allowing so many artists, volunteers and staff to be a part of this meaningful experience too.
If you missed our event, no worries. You can still keep us in your end-of-year giving plan and donate through our event site, on our website, on facebook, or via check.
With much gratitude,
Suzanne Yau, Executive Director

There's still a chance to purchase some of the incredible artwork by our child/AYA artists as well as the 10 artists featured for our 10th anniversary. Each of these artists have played a significant role in the development of Kids & Art, volunteering their time at destination workshops, exhibitions, and outpatient hospital programs. Their passion for art has helped enrich the lives of children and families touched by childhood cancer.
