Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas offers special holiday cards designed by young patients that are a perfect way to send holiday cheer to your family and friends. By purchasing these delightful cards, you will be sending cheerful holiday wishes, as well as providing much needed support to children receiving treatment at the hospital.

Since 1991, the hospital's young patients have been creating holiday-themed artwork each year which is made into greeting cards. Make these cards a part of your holiday tradition. All proceeds from the sale of the cards go directly to the care of TSRHC's patients.
