Congratulations to Olivia V. — 2025 Holiday Art Contest Winner

We are thrilled to announce that Olivia is the winner of The Theresa Foundation's Annual Holiday Art Contest! Olivia’s artwork has been selected to adorn our 2025 holiday card, spreading warmth and joy this holiday season.

To celebrate Olivia’s creativity, the Theresa Foundation has made a grant in her honor to Nassau/Suffolk Autism Society of America, an organization dedicated to empowering everyone in the Autism community with the resources needed to live fully. It is their vision to create a world where everyone in the Autism community is connected to the support they need, when they need it.

Take a moment to view Olivia’s beautiful artwork and learn more about the work the Theresa Foundation and NSASA are doing to lift up individuals through art and inclusion. Thank you for being part of our community and celebrating with us!
