Welcome to the Holiday Card Program sponsored by the Women's Board of the
American Cancer Society, Pennsylvania Division. We have been producing Holiday
Cards by local artists since 1987. Since our inception, we have given over $2,224,678
to benefit the American Cancer Society's mission of research, education, advocacy, and service.
This year we have four Philadelphia scenes for the cards from our 2009 Holiday Card Artist, Joseph Sweeney.
Please go to “Categories” and click on “2009 & Special Cards” and “Previous Year’s Cards” to see our complete selection. These are available on our Web site all year long as we not only have cards with holiday verses, but we also have blank cards that can be used as note cards, invitations, or with your own greeting for special occasions. The “Celebration” card is available blank or with four assorted greetings. The “Donor Card” provides you with cards at your fingertips for instant donations for memorials, honorariums or just gifts. The total purchase price of the Donor Card is a complete donation to the American Cancer Society
