Together, we Spread Joy!
Thank you, South Florida, for joining us on Sunday, December 14th for our annual Spread Joy Toy Drive! Together, you are bringing smiles to the faces of our patients and families. 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 during the holidays and throughout the year - from birthdays, to celebrating milestones reached during treatment, or as tools for healing through play. Thank you for spreading joy!
We are overwhelmed by the generosity we’ve received from the community this year and, as a result, we have paused our toy collection for the holidays. We will begin accepting toy donations again in February 2026 and would be delighted to help you coordinate a date and time to drop off your donations in the new year. Please contact us at AnnualGiving@Nicklaushealth.org for more information.
Ways You Can Help

Create your own fundraiser to help support Nicklaus Children’s patients and make a lasting impact! The funds you raise will be used by our Nicklaus Children’s staff to spread joy throughout the year. These contributions help provide special items for children visiting all Nicklaus Children’s locations, including birthday celebration boxes, play therapy games, our beloved Golden Toy Prize Towers, and bedside buddy games. Together, we can bring smiles and comfort to children when they need it most!
