Who Are We?
Drawn To Help is an organization that takes professional cartoonists, comic book artists and children’s book illustrators to visit children in hospitals.
Due to the current challenges presented by Covid-19 and to protect the children we serve, Drawn To Help is now providing digital services to our young patients, with volunteers broadcasting drawing lessons directly to children’s hospitals from their home studios.
We’ve also created a vast digital art activity library on flash drives that look like cartoon pencils! These contain over 400 pages of coloring activities, hidden pictures and fun activities for the kids to use. These are given to hospitals and caregivers, so they can print out any page the child chooses.
We give young patients free drawing lessons, fun autographed books and a cool pack of art supplies so they can continue experiencing the healing power of art long after our volunteers have gone home.
Art heals!
Studies have shown that creating art reduces pain and anxiety. And that’s what Drawn To Help is all about. Helping one child at a time when they’re going through life challenges that most of us can only begin to imagine.
Drawn To Help is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in Columbus, North Carolina. Our volunteers give children in hospitals free drawing lessons, art supplies, and fun books to help provide pleasant distraction and promote healing in patients and their families.
