Toy Drive!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Angelwish. December means crunch time as we work to organize, publicize, and manage our holiday toy drive programs. Without the generosity of our Angelwish donors, many of the chronically ill children we serve would not receive any presents this holiday season as their parents continue to struggle to pay for their medical bills and make ends meet in this difficult economy. We are therefore working as hard as we can to reach out to as many potential donors as possible.

On that note, I am very excited to announce that the Class of 2011 officers have decided to partner with Angelwish for a holiday service opportunity. All '11ers will be receiving an email in the next day or so detailing the program, but if you want to get a head start looking through the Wishlists of our partner care centers (or aren't a member of our class) you can visit our personalized page at princeton11.angelwish.org Even if you can't donate at this time, scrolling through the toy lists is actually a great mini-break from work...

These online donation pages are a modern twist on the traditional toy drive, and we work closely with hospital social workers nationwide to make sure the items on each Wishlist fit the needs of their patient populations. Best of all, 100% of your donation will go directly toward purchasing the gift - the little bit of overhead there is has been taken care of by corporate contributions.

Happy Holidays Everyone!
