The Art of Caring

June 22, 2016

Adopt-A-Family Large Heart

Adopt-A-Family Large Heart

Earlier in the year we rolled out the Adopt-a-Family program at Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of Central Ohio. The program was created so supporters can adopt a family at RMHC and know they are helping families win the fight against life-threatening illnesses. To acknowledge our important Adopt-a-Family donors in a special way, I created a one-of-a-kind recognition wall. With help from our wildly talented graphic designer Lynne Holmes, we created stand-alone images that when together, similar to a puzzle, form a heart.

Next, I was on a mission to recruit artists from the Central Ohio community to paint the individual pieces and incorporate their artistic style into the overall design. I was blown away by the number of artists who volunteered their time and talent to paint a picture that will be forever cherished by the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.

Most of the artists had never been to the House prior to coming here to paint a piece for our donor wall. They were blown away by our mission and efforts to provide our families with the utmost quality of support. After coming to the House, they were even more excited to contribute their artistic efforts and leave a lasting impact on the families staying at RMHC.

The Adopt-a-Family donor wall will be displayed in the House in the near future. The artists are eager to return to the House to see the finished wall as well as continue to support the families we serve.

For more information on our Adopt-a-Family program, please contact Andrea Biada via email or call 614-227-3775.
