Art With a Heart
What is Art with a Heart?
Art with a Heart is a program designed to offer patients and their families staying at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center a day of entertainment and fine dining. Its mission is to create a happy memory for a family whose time, energy and finances have been consumed by a serious medical issue.
Each month a nominated patient and their family will be selected to receive a complimentary gift package that includes:
- Tickets to an artistic event
- Dinner for four at a local restaurant
- A hair cut or "makeover" from a child's hair salon
- Free transportation for the entire evening
All About Kids parenting magazine will feature a story each month about the child's evening.
