Commissions Against Cancer is a small, non-profit group of artists who provide our art skills in exchange for donations. 100% of all profits goes towards purchasing art supplies to create Art Gift Baskets for Cancer patients.
This project is run by primarily 10th-grade students as part of our school's "Change the World Project." However, we have artists from outside our school of different ages and skill levels. These artists have volunteered their time and energy to provide artwork for those who wish to donate to our cause.
​
The goal of this project is to provide art supply gift baskets to cancer patients at the Massey Cancer Center in Richmond, Va. Cancer patients often have a difficult time due to the different emotional and physical impacts that cancer brings into their lives. Researchers at the Cancer Center have discovered that art therapy can help calm, satisfy and discover the source of a patient's pain. Art and creating art work has over the years proven to be calming technique, which is why we not only chose to donate art supplies, but to provide artwork to the donators.
