CurrentFounded in 2013, The Crayon Initiative (TCI) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which organizes the collection of used and unwanted crayons from restaurants, schools, and the community. TCI then remanufactures them into new ergonomically shaped crayons and donate them to hospitals caring for our kids. Hospital arts’ programs provide in-hospital entertainment and learning programs in order to help hospitalized children. Art provides psychological support, helps to alleviate anxiety and allows a creative outlet for self-expression. TCI also supports environmental efforts by diverting these unwanted crayons from the landfills.
