The Ryan Crout Art Therapy Program
offers children with cancer an opportunity to express their
creativity, desire for normalcy and hope through drawing and
painting. It also provides children and their siblings a pleasant
distraction from the hospital setting. The program is named in
memory of Ryan Crout, a little boy who found joy in the midst of his
cancer diagnosis through expressing his feelings through drawing. |

“Children
approach the arts as children first,
not as children with cancer. Art
Therapy allows a child to express
his or her feelings about their
immediate world in a non-threatening
and enjoyable way. I am grateful for
the funding Children's Chance
provides for this very important
program.”
Lyssa Harvey,
Licensed Art and Play Therapist |
