Draw Your Dream Home

The Williams Real Estate Company was founded on philanthropy. It started with Phoenix Children’s Hospital and the young patients and families they serve. In keeping with the core mission of “Growing Our Community...One Home at a Time”, Dan Williams saw an opportunity to bring smiles to the kids at PCH, and to the faces of those who visit their corporate headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona. Rather than put up just any corporate art in newly opened offices of The Williams Real Estate Company, Dan Williams and Thuy Pham, Owners, decided to make real artists out of the children at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. They sat bedside and asked the kids to draw their dream houses. These colorful and fun pieces were then hung as original artwork, which adorned the new headquarters of Arizona’s most philanthropic real estate company.
Dan, Thuy and young leukemia cancer patient, Gabriel, 8-years old, put on their germ masks and proceeded to work together with crayons in hand to capture his idea of the perfect family house – kitchen, “Angel's room” and bedrooms for he and his siblings. Dan and Thuy made a significant donation for all of the artwork created by the kids at Phoenix Children's Hospital - truly making them real commissioned artists! Phoenix Children's Hospital has provided hope, healing, and the best healthcare for children and families since it was born in 1983. Today, Phoenix Children's is one of the ten largest children's hospitals in the country and provides specialty and sub-specialty inpatient, outpatient, trauma, and emergency care to patients throughout Arizona and other Southwestern states. http://www.phoenixchildrens.com/
