Giving with Grabie: Oklahoma Children’s Hospital

Through the Grabie Art Fund, we recently donated art supplies to Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, providing children and families with creative tools to express themselves, find calm, and experience joy during their hospital stay.

The hospital hosted its first “Giving with Grabie” art show on Thursday, December 11. Twenty Grabie Drawing Kits were delivered to patients and families, and children joined a special virtual art session broadcast across hospital rooms. Volunteers guided participants through different techniques and encouraged creativity, while patients shared their own drawings and feedback. Seeing the excitement and engagement reminded us of the power of art in bringing connection and comfort.

The impact of art can also be seen in individual stories like Sean’s, a 16-year-old who recently received a life-saving kidney transplant just before Thanksgiving. While in recovery, he was able to engage in art therapy using our donated supplies. Art helped him relax, focus, and express his emotions in a way that felt calming during treatment. (Local news)

Seeing Sean doing well is such wonderful news. We’re grateful the Grabie Art Fund could play a small part in these experiences, supporting art therapy programs that bring comfort, strength, and inspiration to children and families during challenging times.
