Holiday Card Project 2021 Wrap-Up!
The 2021 Holiday Card Project was a smashing success — receiving 1,748 cards submitted from nearly 1,500 deviants around the globe! Since 2004, the Project has had the goal of spreading holiday cheer to hospital patients. In the interest of public health, DeviantArt made the pivot to digital submissions of cards for 2021. As a result, we teamed up with California Hospital Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in greater Los Angeles, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and partner facilities of Dignity Health Southern California who all had the ability to display cards digitally. It is a privilege to know the DeviantArt community has helped to spread some holiday cheer to people who need it most. Amber Chavez, Special Programs Coordinator at CHOC, remarked that “the patients and families loved it! It truly brightened their hospital stay, especially during the holidays.” Megan Martinez, Community Outreach Manager at Dignity Health Southern California
