Draw a Picture, Become a Part of the "Big Picture"
YOU CAN BE PART OF THIS EXCITING PROJECT!

This year, JDRF Illinois, Ford Motor Company Fund, and Project S.N.A.P. are working together to create two giant mosaic murals out of the drawings of JDRF Illinois children and families and members of the JDRF Illinois community.

The final mosaic murals will be unveiled at the December 12 2009, Chance of a Lifetime Gala and auctioned as a fundraiser for JDRF. Posters of the final mosaic will be available in the fall.
Children with Type 1 Diabetes, brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, neighbors and friends from across the State of Illinois are invited to participate in the creation of these giant mosaics by creating artwork that will make up the "big picture". ANY AGE CAN PARTICIPATE! If you create artwork for the mosaic your artwork will be one of the images that makes up the final mosaic and in the fall you will be able to visit the Project S.N.A.P. Web Gallery and see your picture and the exact row and column of where it is located in mosaic mural. Click below to become a part of the project!
