Holiday Toy Drive
This holiday season, we’re thrilled to once again host our Annual Toy Drive to support families in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Cincinnati Children’s. Fighting CHD is a journey that impacts the whole family, and each year we collect toys to bring joy to both heart patients and their siblings.
On December 9th, we’ll host a warm and festive event at the hospital where families can enjoy a meal and a special “shopping” experience – selecting donated gifts for their children, including siblings of heart patients. This cherished tradition lifts the financial and emotional burden of holiday shopping and helps families create moments of joy during a difficult time.
Toys and gift cards remaining after the event will be donated to Child Life Services to comfort children throughout the year and purchase crafts and toys as needed.
You can help make the season brighter in three ways:
Donate: Give any amount by clicking the “contribute” button at the top of this page and we’ll do the shopping for you! Just note “toy drive” with your donation.
Shop: Purchase directly from our Amazon Wishlist below and have gifts delivered to a CHAoC volunteer for the event. Note the addition of gift cards to the wishlist – because kids of all ages are patients at the heart institute and we want to give something to everyone!
Host a Toy Drive: Rally your friends, family, or workplace to collect toys! Email [email protected] to let us know in advance, and we’ll arrange pickup on December 1st.
