O U R M I S S I O N

August's Artists is focused on serving pediatric healthcare patients and their families by providing consistent access to window crayons, commemorating their artwork as a way to celebrate some of the most formative and impactful moments in life, and meaningful advocacy for family-centered, whole-person care.

HOW IT STARTED

“August's Artists was inspired by a simple activity during a challenging healthcare experience: coloring on the hospital room door with window crayons during my son’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. I started August's Artists as a way to give back to the community that supported us so tenderly.”
- Erica Johansen, Founder & Executive Director
