Our daughter was in the PICU over the summer and the care she received from the UMass pediatric team was nothing short of amazing.  One thing that made our stay more comfortable was having toys for her to play with as she started to feel better.  Especially during the holidays, we want every family visiting the hospital with their child to have a reason to smile.  Help us spread joy to pediatric patients 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
