Huge thanks to all kids and families for participating in the Go Gold party yesterday to raise Childhood Cancer Awareness this September! It was our first time organizing such an event, and we couldn’t have done it without your help.

The theme was kids helping kids in need. It was fun watching kids unleash their creativity via various DIY art projects, such as decorating canvas caps, pouches, card making and bracelets. There was a stand with homemade lemonade and yummy cupcakes.

Kids were thrilled upon raising $1100 !! We had promised to match the amount, and with an additional corporate gift match, the impact was multi-fold. The sales benefited Kids & Art foundation, a cancer charity that aims at healing pediatric cancer through the arts. It’s their 10th anniversary this year, and they’ve been helping kids in treatment by organizing weekly art workshops at children’s hospitals (UCSF Benioff, Stanford’s Lucile Packard), and monthly workshops at different artist studios in Bay area, including a recent one at Disney Pixar.

Once again, thanks to all the wonderful people that joined and made yesterday’s party fun and meaningful !
