About Us
The BUY FOR THE KIDS program releases the
uninhibited creations of children in art, ceramics, glass,
and metal working. Their ages range from five years
through high school in the Portland Oregon area.
Each young artist receives a portion of the sales price as
compensation for their creation. The program will
familiarize the child with business because they
manufacture their creations.
Doernbecher Children's Hospital and the Albertina Kerr
Centers each receive a portion of the sales price. These
organizations provide important support services to
children.
