WELCOME TO UC DAVIS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL’S VIRTUAL HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE!

Help us bring the joy of the holiday season to our hospitalized children!

The Virtual Holiday Toy Drive gives friends and family, both near and far, the opportunity to join in support of UC Davis Children's Hospital. This is a great way for your family, workplace, school, or community organization to organize a fundraiser for our patients without the hassle of delivering packages!

HOW TO GIVE

To help keep us all safe, our Holiday Toy Drive is 100% virtual this year. However, there are still plenty of ways to give:

  • Click the donate link above
  • Buy items on our Amazon Wish List by clicking here.
  • Mail checks payable to UC Davis Foundation to:

UC Davis Children's Hospital

Attn: Health Sciences Development

PO Box 160186

Sacramento, CA 95816

Please write 'Toy Drive' in the memo section of the check.

Donations must be received by December 24 to ensure big holiday smiles for our patients.

ABOUT THE GOAL

Your gifts will support the Child Life fund at the hospital, clinics, and the MIND Institute. Our team uses the fund to provide gifts for every child getting treatment in our hospital and clinics. Plus, toys, crafts, books, and electronics are needed year-round to celebrate other holidays, birthdays and to stock play spaces, to engage patients at the bedside. Any remaining funds from the Holiday Toy Drive will help meet these needs.

ABOUT YOUR DONATION

Donations will provide fun to last us all year round! We ask for your support in giving generously what you can. Your donation supports the Child Life Program fund, which provides toys and games for patients and families during their stay. A portion of your donation will also support the Child Life Program Support Fund, which supports the program itself. We rely on community support in order to provide these services at our non-profit Children’s Hospital, the MIND Institute, the Cancer Center, and to outlying clinical spaces, and to ensure that all children feel special during the holidays and throughout the year. All donations are 100% tax-deductible as allowable by law.

STRETCH GOAL!

We have passed our original goal of $20,000 and are now aiming higher. Support our Toy Drive as we stretch to raise another $8,000 to help normalize the holidays for the children we provide care for at our hospital and clinics.
