Be My...

Okay, it's still pretty great to get chocolate, roses and sexy lingerie for Valentine's Day. Let's face it though, now that you're a mom, the best part is when you get to help your tot send her Valentines.

This year, why not send a greeting that also benefits kids in need? The Children’s Art Project raises money from the sale of their cards to benefit the children who drew them—all of whom are battling cancer. This year's Valentines feature some very cool original artwork by young cancer patients, and the proceeds will be used to support their needs and enrich their lives with normal childhood experiences and opportunities.

In 1974, the Children's Art Project sold its first holiday cards netting a grand total of $588. Thirty years later, the project has continued to make life better for children with cancer by raising more than $17 million.
