The organization was founded on the principle that when you share, the world opens up. Its signature program, Brushes with Cancer, is a six month program that matches those touched by cancer with artists to create a unique piece of artwork that reflects on their journey with cancer. This unique celebration of survivorship and hope pairs previvors, survivors, and caregivers with talented artists working in a variety of mediums. Those touched by cancer share their ‘twist on cancer’ – stories, feelings and experiences – with the artist, which serves as the inspiration for the art. The program culminates with a celebratory annual event and fundraiser in which the artwork is revealed for the first time. Since 2011 the organization has touched over 100,000 people through its community wide programming and online platforms.
