The toy drive is to benefit children hospitalized receiving treatment for cancer in memory of David Wrona Sr & Virginia Chester.
We will donate the toys to volunteers with The Children's Cancer Recovery Foundation and they will deliver them to children all over. If you are planning on bringing an item for donation remember that these children are in the hospital, great ideas include art supplies, coloring books, crayons, puzzles, board games, stuffed animals, etc.
