Children’s mural panels will be sent to New Orleans and Gulf locations as gifts from the children of NYC with help from Digitas. In addition, children will create 250 “Backyards in a Box,” containers filled with footballs, chalk, and jump rope, to name a few items, designed to bring a piece of home to children who no longer have one.
