Art Helps Cancer with Anna and Elmer Hill

You Matter Nashville

We had the privilege of speaking with Anna and Elmer Hill, the husband-and-wife team behind the nonprofit Art Helps Cancer. During our conversation, they shared how their personal experiences with cancer motivated them to form this organization, which focuses on alleviating everyday burdens for families undergoing treatment.
We learned about their annual art auction, which brings together local artists, and how this event helps fund their thoughtful approach to support—like delivering care caddies, sending hand-written cards, and even arranging lawn care and house cleaning. Anna and Elmer also collaborate with other nonprofits in Middle Tennessee, further expanding the network of love and help for cancer patients and their families.
If you’re looking for inspiration, practical ways to support those battling cancer, or a story that highlights the kindness in our community, this episode is for you.
