As members of the UMass Memorial Health - Children's Medical Center Patient and Family Advisory Council, we strive to help make hospital visits a little easier for patients and families.

We need your help to bring *joy* to kids in the hospital this holiday season!

Make your gift today to help us deliver gifts throughout the holidays at UMass Memorial's Children's Medical Center. 

Help us be sure we have the right toy at the right time for our pediatric patients. Please join in this virtual toy drive to bring real joy to children. Here are some examples of how your generosity will help! Your gift of...

• $10 will help purchase infant toys for our smallest patients
• $20 will supply safe light-up spinners for smiles and distraction
• $30 will help us get toys for pretend play, imagination, & exploration
• $40 would be fabulous for replenishing craft supplies for all ages of kids and teens
• $100 would be invested in electronics for kids at the hospital 

THANK YOU!

Why virtual? Your gifts through this virtual toy drive will allow us to purchase just the right toys and craft supplies and more at just the right time when kids need them. You help us ensure that every toy is safe and meeting the needs of each child. A virtual toy drive also helps us better manage around infection control issues and storage and distribution challenges, and gives us the chance to take advantage of bulk discounts in some cases. It also gives you an easier way of contributing as well as an easier method of getting a tax deduction for your gift. But ultimately, it's the easiest, fastest, and most effective get more joy to more kids. And we all want that!
