Christmas In July
It was “Christmas In July” at the July Heroes Art Session. The kids had a great time making holiday-inspired crafts. They made reindeers out of clothes pins & pipe cleaners (a craft classic), snowflakes out of colored beads, and decorated paper trees. Everyone was happy to have homemade ornaments for the holidays.
Every year, Connor’s Heroes hosts a Holiday Open House for hero families whose children are in active treatment over the holidays. We surprise each family with their favorite gifts, gift cards, and a $250 Visa to help with holiday expenses. Keep an eye out for our e-newsletter, Heroes & Hope, and how you can give a hero a magical holiday.

Hero Families: Ruby, Kennedy & Lauren
Volunteers: Ellen, Gurbani, Phyllis, Olivia, Ana, Emily, Katie, Laura and Adelaide
About Heroes Art Session With Childhood Cancer Heroes And Their Families
Our Heroes Art Sessions provide a supportive environment in which childhood cancer heroes and their siblings can make art and build community with other hero families. At the sessions, you feel a collective sense of healing by creating and being together. We are grateful to Visual Arts Center for giving us the space for an open studio. And to our donors who allow the Heroes Art Sessions to happen at no cost to our families and to supply the artists with their materials.
