The Toy Closet at Cardon Children's Medical Center.
Cardon Children’s Medical Center and Banner Thunderbird Children’s Center will be featured on Groupon.com Tuesday through Thursday Jan. 24-26 to raise money for the Toy Closet program.
The Toy Closet program provides toys to patients who are undergoing medical treatment, providing distraction and comfort during what can be a stressful time in their lives. A trip to the toy closet may follow a painful procedure or scary treatment, or may occur when a child just needs a bit of encouragement. Children are allowed to keep the toys they select.
In order to minimize the risk of infection, all donated toys must be brand new.
Items most needed are age-appropriate toys that would appeal to the largest group possible. Some examples:
Infants
Teething toys
Musical toys
Teddy bears
Toddlers
Pop-up books
Light-up toys
Jumbo crayons with coloring book
School-age children
Matchbox cars
Board games
Arts and Crafts
Teens
Video games
Journals
Disposable cameras
