YOU will decide the 2008 Holiday Card of the Season
Long before the winter chill sets in or the man in a red suit comes to town for a trip down your chimney; MUSC Children's Hospital Fund will kick off their 16th annual "Kids Helping Kids" Holiday Card Project. For the first time, the public will decide who will be the Project's Card of the Season. In early June, five pieces of artwork were chosen by The John M. Dunnan Gallery owner and Children's Hospital Fund Advisory Board member, John Dunnan with his son Mac's input to be the potential Card of the Season.
This year, the five potential Card of the Season artists range in age from 7-12 years old and have all been touched by the Children's Hospital in some way.
Each child has agreed to participate in this year's project to help others in need, sometimes including those dear to them or as a way to thank the
Children's Hospital that has helped them in the past. Voting for the Card of the Season begins on July 1, 2008 and runs through July 31, 2008. There are two ways to vote . . . view the original artwork with a visit to the College of Charleston Bookstore, located at 160 Calhoun Street in downtown Charleston, or vote online. Please vote as often as you would like.
To vote online, please select the picture below.
The winning card will be announced in early fall and the winning artist will be featured in all media spots for the Holiday Card Project as well as have their artwork featured for the upcoming year as the logo of the project.
The "Kids Helping Kids" Holiday Card Project pairs up local businesses and individuals with MUSC Children's Hospital patients, siblings of patients and young friends of the Children's Hospital to make a difference in the lives of the children of the Lowcounty. The 35 sponsors for the 2008 Project will underwrite the cost of printing so that all money raised from the sale of the cards will go directly to programs at the MUSC Children's Hospital. All cards selected for the project will be packaged in multipacks and sold to the public starting October 31, 2008. In addition to just selling multipacks of cards this year, the five finalists for Card of the Season will also be the artwork for gift cards that will be on sale as well. All selected artwork will be displayed on the MUSC Children's Hospital Web site in mid-October.
