Together, we Spread Joy!
South Florida, join us at BOTH Nicklaus Children's Hospital Miami Campus and Nicklaus Children's Hospital Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, December 19th for our annual Spread Joy Toy Drive!
Your generous donations – whether toys, books, gift cards, or other financial support – help us create unforgettable memories for children in our care. Our teams distribute these gifts throughout the year – from birthdays, to celebrating milestones reached during treatment, or as tools for healing through play.
Stay tuned for updates! We will be sharing more information on this year's Spread Joy Toy Drive events as we get closer, including information on volunteering and dropping off at either location. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please reach out to us at AnnualGiving@Nicklaushealth.org.
No matter how (or where) you choose to participate, we thank you for spreading joy to the patients and families we serve in our communities!
