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.

Charlotte has been in the hospital on birthdays, holidays, special days, etc and it's amazing how much a toy or a gift could lift her spirits.

That’s why I’m excited to be supporting the Banner Children’s Virtual Toy Drive! With your help, we can make a difference for the littlest patients and their families by successfully raising needed funds.

Here’s how you can join in the effort:

• Help me reach my fundraising goal with a donation.

• Become a Banner Children’s Champion like me and create your own fundraising page!

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

Thank you!
