Imagine spending the holidays away from home. Now imagine spending it in a hospital. That’s the reality every year for some young patients at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. But by supporting the hospital’s annual Jingle Toy Drive, you can bring holiday joy to the lives of these young patients and their families.
Your company's donation or fundraising efforts will directly fund holiday gifts and special programs that make their stay a little brighter and more magical.
Here are three ways your workplace can make a difference:
1. Create an online fundraiser.
• Set up your toy drive page at JingleToyDrive.org.
• Start by setting an ambitious goal. (To adopt a full floor of Monroe Carell, make a goal to raise $5,000.)
• Add a photo and explain why your company chose this fundraiser.
• Share your special fundraising page with your employees and encourage them to donate and share the word with their friends and family.
2. Host a point-of-sale fundraising campaign.
If you would like to give your customers the opportunity to donate to the fundraiser at checkout, email Jingle@vumc.org for more information.
3. Donate items.
If your employees would like to contribute physical items, please visit the hospital's Amazon Wish List or Walmart Registry. All orders will be shipped directly to Monroe Carell.
Learn more at JingleToyDrive.org. Employers can contact Jingle@vumc.org with any questions.
