OUR MISSION
One Sketch at a Time

SketchNF is dedicated to raising funds and creating a network for pediatric NF patients one sketch at a time.

Our mission is to EMPOWER children within the pediatric NF community by allowing them to share their voice and stories through art. By auctioning off these art pieces, each child will directly be contributing to the FUNDRAISING towards NF research and support groups. We hope that as each child shares their unique story, it will raise AWARENESS for what NF is and how it affects children and their families. As the number of children who participate grows, so will our COMMUNITY, and we hope to create an online platform from SketchNF that is aimed towards connecting children with the disorder so that no one will ever feel alone in this fight.

As each child’s unique story is shared through art, we hope that people can better understand the impact NF has on each of their precious lives. 

So how does this work? 

Every year, we send out individual packages completely free of charge. Each package includes directions and a starter kit of supplies, enabling children to create their artwork and share their stories (they can also use their own supplies!). Once they finish their sketches, they return them to us using the provided envelope. The artwork is then framed and auctioned off during NF Awareness Month. At the end of the auction, the artwork goes to the highest bidder.
