Children's
talent shines through
This year, send your holiday greetings on cards created especially for
the season by Children’s Hospital patients.
Rachel
Hendrix and her mom purchase their cards.
Now in its ninth year, the Kids Helping Kids Holiday Card Project will
raise funds to support research and programs at the Children’s Hospital.
Aiden
Maynard with mom, Nicole, displays his artwork.
Each year, the local businesses who sponsor the project select artwork
to be included in the pack of cards.
A set of 20 cards and envelopes is $15 and can be purchased at BB&T,
MUSC Wellness Center, First Federal of Charleston, local branches of Bank
of America, and South Carolina Federal Credit Union. The Kiwanis Clubs
of Charleston will also be selling the cards in local Belk department stores
on weekends through December.
