Holiday Toy Drive

Join us in supporting the families in the CICU at Cincinnati Children's during the holidays!

This holiday season, we’re thrilled to host a toy drive to support families in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Fighting CHD is a battle that impacts the whole family, so each year, we collect enough toys to give gifts to heart patients and their siblings. During the week of December 15th, we’ll provide a meal and a special “shopping” experience in the lobby, allowing families to choose from donated gifts for their children, including siblings of heart patients. This event brings our community together to lift the financial and emotional burdens of holiday shopping for families navigating extended hospital stays and allow them to bring holiday joy to their family during the most trying of circumstances.
