24th ANNUAL HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
Blythedale Children's Hospital is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with complex medical and rehabilitative needs. For more than 100 years, Blythedale has been a leader in developing innovative, multi-disciplinary inpatient and ambulatory programs, as well as a community resource for children with a variety of medical concerns.
Founded more than 100 years ago, Blythedale Children's Hospital is a 92-bed non-profit children's hospital serving youngsters from birth through age 19 without regard to sex, financial ability, religion, or race. Through its inpatient and day hospital programs, it treats more than 300 children daily, making it one of the largest children's services in the State. It is also the only hospital in New York State with its own separate public school on site, uniquely designated to serve the special needs of its children.
We will be delivering the items on Friday, December 13th so that the items can be distributed to the Blythedale families.
Blythedale has specifically asked for help with the needs of infants and toddlers. This is due to the overwhelming number of children of that age group in the hospital. We are limiting our collection to the items posted on the attached list.
Students may drop of their donations each day to Mr. Herrmann’s office in Room 339. Donations will be logged for service credits and for credits toward 8th Grade Philanthropy Award applications. We will begin our collection on November 12, 2024. Students will be allowed to do this during their advisory class.
Please join us in this wonderful tradition. If you have any questions regarding this effort, please feel free to contact Mr. Herrmann at (718) 701-6343, extension 3391.
