A Pediatric Art Therapy Program
From a Tracy’s Kids Participant
We were asked to contribute a guest blog to the site of an organization called the Cancer Knowledge Network. Web: http://www.cancerkn.com/ .
Here’s the link to what Tracy wrote:

“Admired as a trailblazer for art therapy, Matt Gerson is a Washington, DC-based executive who established Tracy’s Kids as an independent charity. Since 1998, he has raised almost $4 million in philanthropic support to help children with cancer cope with the emotional stress imposed by the disease and its treatment. Of that, $1.6 million has benefitted children and families at Children’s National-where the program is donated at no cost to our patients.”
Tracy’s Kids is a 501.c.3 charitable organization helping young cancer patients and their families cope with the emotional stress and trauma of cancer and its treatment. Our federal tax ID number is 26-3835257.
Our mission is to ensure that the children and families we serve are emotionally equipped to fight cancer as actively as possible—and prepared for the time when they are cancer free.
