Caleb's Annual Hospital Toy Drive

Caleb's Annual Hospital Toy Drive In July of 2000 I was diagnosed with brain cancer and spent most of that year in the hospital. It help me keep my mind off being sick and my battle with cancer.

I was very thankful for all the Doctors, nurses and Child Life Specialist's that brought things to me to play with. When I got better I wanted to do this for other kids so I decided with my mom and my aunt Michele to start collecting toys and crafts for other kids that are in the hospital. We had our first toy drive in 2002 and we have collected thousands of toys for area hospitals. We are so tha

nkful to all those who continue to support our toy drive each year and we hope with your help and support we can continue to do this for many years to come..
