A Colorful Collaboration

This year, I had the incredible opportunity to partner with Azuna to gift 500 "Trendy Buffalo" coloring books to the patients and families at Oishei Children's Hospital. Our goal was simple but meaningful: bring a little Buffalo pride and creativity to kids during their hospital stay.

There's something special about the power of art and creativity, especially for children going through challenging times. These coloring books offer more than just an activity—they provide a moment of joy, a creative outlet, and a celebration of the city we all love.

Community Support and Media Coverage

The response from our community has been absolutely wonderful! Local news stations Channel 2 (WGRZ) and Channel 7 stopped by to cover the donation and share how this simple act of kindness is brightening hospital rooms across Western New York.

The Power of Giving Back

As many of you know, Oishei Children's Hospital holds a special place in my heart. As a Signature Artist at the hospital, I've had the privilege of contributing artwork to their 10th floor Sports Themed Floor and participating in their incredible Healing Arts Program.

This coloring book donation with Azuna is another way to give back to an institution that does so much for our community's children and families. Every coloring page filled in, every creative moment experienced—it all adds up to brighter days for kids who need it most.

Thank You

A huge thank you to Azuna for partnering on this meaningful project, and to Channel 2 and Channel 7 for helping spread the word about this donation. Most importantly, thank you to the staff at Oishei Children's Hospital who work tirelessly to care for our community's youngest patients.

Art truly has the power to heal, comfort, and inspire—one coloring page at a time.
