Donor Walls – Cancer Centers
October observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month. An international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities to increase awareness and to raise funds for research into cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and a cure for this insidious disease. The goal is to convey a message of hope, not fear, and survival with early detection.
Breast cancer is by far the most common cancer in women worldwide. With early detection and proper medical care, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured.
Our designs for donor walls in cancer centers focus on creating imagery that brings beauty and provides respite and hope to those receiving treatment while recognizing and inspiring donor gifts.

A series of room plaques and donor plaques were created and displayed throughout the cancer center.
St. Joseph’s Hospital, West Bend, WI
Designed for St. Joseph’s Oncology Department, this recognition system features a ceramic tile mural featuring the Kettle Moraine landscape flanked by portraits of flowers used medicinally in cancer treatment. Donor Names are screened on the panels.
The DayLily is used by the Chinese in fighting breast cancer, and incidentally, is the official flower of West Bend.
Pottstown-Cancer Center, Pottstown, PA
The donor wall design draws inspiration from a traditional Amish quilt pattern and features images of plants used medicinally to treat cancer.
Marsh Marigold, Mayapple, and Coneflower images in the mural were glazed one color with sanblasted inscriptions of donor names.
This triptych was created for the three largest donors. In these panels, the plants were glazed in a more naturalistic way.
