Get into the holiday spirit while helping bring joy to children in the hospital! Nemours Children’s Health invites families and community members to its third annual Holiday Joy Drive, a festive celebration featuring photos with Santa, hot cocoa, cookie decorating and live holiday music.
This free community event is open to everyone.
For those who wish to give back, your financial contributions make the greatest and most immediate impact on our patients and families. All donations will benefit the Nemours Child Life Program which is 100% donor funded. This year, monetary gifts can make twice the impact thanks to a special matching gift of up to $20,000.
New, unwrapped toys are still welcome in limited quantities (see details online).
Child Life specialists help children and families navigate the challenges of hospitalization through therapeutic play, creative activities and emotional support. From easing fears before medical procedures to creating opportunities for fun and connection, Child Life helps children feel more like kids, even during some of life’s most difficult moments.
Whether you come to give, celebrate or simply enjoy some holiday cheer, everyone is welcome to join in the festivities!
