Virtual Toy Drive

Bring Smiles to Kids at Connecticut Children’s!

When you join our Heroes & Helpers Virtual Toy Drive, you’re not just giving toys—you’re creating moments of joy, comfort, and celebration for kids spending time in the hospital.

Instead of collecting boxes of toys, our Virtual Toy Drive makes it easy to make an impact. Every dollar you raise helps our Child Life team hand-pick just the right gifts, games, art supplies, and activities based on each child’s age, interests, and needs. From easing anxiety before a procedure, to brightening a birthday, to making hospital days feel a little more normal—your support makes smiles happen all year long.

How you can help:

• Start your own fundraising page—or rally your friends, family, or coworkers to form a team.
• Share your page and invite others to give.
• Watch your impact grow as you help stock playrooms, fill activity carts, and create happy memories.

Together, we’ll provide more than 25,000 toys and activities this year to keep kids’ spirits high. It’s easy. It’s fun. And most importantly—it makes a difference.
