Kids Supporting Kids is a program that connects children in
schools with children affected by cancer, generating awareness
and support. Students participate in a month-long creative
program that informs them about arts education and culminates
in a fundraising event. Fundraising and events can be in person
or online, with children using their imagination to produce artwork,
create live performances and generate ideas to raise funds. Parents
can also jump on board, by educating their children at home about
young people who are affected by cancer, and showing them how they
can use art to help.
Children love creating art, and if their art can be used to fundraise – promoted through their parents’ personal social media pages, affiliated with AFB’s channels – and raise awareness for fellow young artists in need, we think that is a hugely positive and empowering message.
Kids Supporting Kids can be a real eye-opener for healthy children and gives them a unique
chance to share their love for the arts with young cancer patients, for whom
self-expression can be the very cornerstone of recovery.
