Host a Virtual Toy Drive

Young hospital patient clutching doll In lieu of in-kind donations, you can help raise much-needed funds for our Child Life team by creating a virtual toy drive. Virtual toy drive fundraising pages are a fun and easy way to raise money for the purchase of toys for children at CHOP. 

Create a virtual toy drive

When you create a virtual toy drive fundraising page, your friends and family can help you raise funds to support children in the hospital. All funds raised will directly benefit our patients, families and the Child Life Department.

Monetary Donations

Throughout the year, our Child Life, Education and Creative Arts Therapy team distributes toys and activities to bring joy and comfort to children in the hospital. Due to the COVID-19 restrictions surrounding in-kind giving, the Child Life team depends on monetary donations to purchase and provide these items.
