It's a fact: Kids need to be kids. Since the need to play is never more important than during a stay in a hospital, toys can bring comfort and hope to a child in crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 has challenged us all in so many ways, including how we celebrate and build community together. In a normal year, we'd find a fun way to involve toys in our celebrations and donate them to the pediatric programs. Just like so many other apects of our lives, we've gotten creative and gone virtual!

With our donations, we have the opportunity to spread cheer to patients of Banner Children's and honor the loving memory of Nanda's grandson, Frankie, who passed away earlier this year. Nanda tells me he loved Woody from the Toy Story movies and he loved music.

Your participation will help speed the healing process and make things easier for some grateful patients and their families. 

Thank you!
