    Weve invited you here today to show you our


    gratitude and to show you firsthand the impact
    of your support. Just as art has been shown to
    have healing properties, our mission is to help
    families of seriously ill children on their healing
    journeys. Thanks to you, close to 4,000
    families this year will benefit from our House
    and Family Rooms.
    This is our second annual event. In association
    with Akin Projects, 23 artists graciously gave
    their time and creativity to craft pieces of
    art with children staying at our House. The
    pieces theyve produced are colourful, unique
    and beautiful expressions of the pairings that
    produced them. The creative process brought
    much light and laughter to our House. We
    hope the art will bring joy to your homes for
    years to come.
    Thank you for sharing in this experience
    today and for your continued support and
    involvement with us throughout the year.
    Sincerely,

    Sara Pearson

    Sarah Letovsky

    Sara Pearson chooses subjects and materials for


    their relationship to the natural world. Working
    primarily with analogue methods, she plays
    with the dichotomy of traditional process in an
    increasingly digital world, pushing abstraction
    while honouring the process of mimesis.

    Sarah Letovskys work explores the intimacy of


    the female face in large-scale oil paintings and
    an ongoing watercolour series. She was the
    recipient of the 2014 Mrs. W.O. Forsyth Award
    for Excellence in Painting.

    Aiden, 11, is from Oshawa. He stayed at the


    House while being treated for leukemia.

    Jake, 10, is from Blind River, Ont. He stayed
