Spending the holidays in the hospital can be difficult for patients—especially young ones—and can be stressful for the entire family. The team at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt invites Nashville employers to make the lives of these children and their families a little brighter by joining the 2025 Jingle Toy Drive.
When organizations sign up or donate to the Jingle Toy Drive, they directly provide gifts for patients in the hospital, ensuring each child has a special holiday surprise that meets their needs. There are several ways to participate:
1. Make a donation. Your donation helps provide toys, games, special programs and more, bringing a sense of normalcy to families in the hospital, during the holidays and throughout the year. Donate at this link.
2. Create a virtual toy drive.
- Set up your toy drive page at JingleToyDrive.org.
- Start by setting a goal. (To adopt an entire hospital unit, such as the NICU or Pediatric Hematology & Oncology, make a goal to raise $5,000.)
- Add a photo and explain why your company chose this fundraiser.
- Share your fundraising page with your employees and encourage them to donate and share the link with their network.
3. Donate items. If your employees would like to contribute physical items, please visit the hospital's Amazon wish list. All orders will be shipped directly to Monroe Carell.
