Welcome to Events' Journal

The Paint Box Project is a unique program that uses the healing power of art to help young cancer patients and their families express themselves during and after cancer treatment. Created in 1990 by the volunteers of the Roswell Park Alliance, the Project hosts art parties where the children create original designs that are featured on holiday and all-occasion cards and merchandise.

All proceeds from the Paint Box Project benefit groundbreaking cancer research and compassionate patient care programs. This inspiring initiative already has raised more than $5.7 million since its inception.

Please know that each card and gift you purchase is helping Roswell Park Cancer Institute to share the words, Remission Accomplished, with more patients and families, while fueling research to save lives across our nation, and the world. Thank you for supporting this very personal effort in the fight against cancer.
