Color, Courage, and Childhood Cancer Awareness
Painting Tomorrow’s Stories is a Princeton University student-led art, storytelling, and fundraising initiative in partnership with The Valerie Fund, created to amplify the voices of children facing cancer and to support the comprehensive care their families receive.
Through patient artwork, shared stories, and a community color run, this series highlights life beyond the diagnosis: celebrating courage, creativity, and hope while raising critical funds for childhood cancer care and support.
Why We’re Fundraising
All proceeds from Painting Tomorrow’s Stories support The Valerie Fund’s mission to provide individualized medical, emotional, social, and developmental care to children with cancer and blood disorders at medical centers throughout NJ, NY and PA.
