Toy Box Wish List

Children being treated for cancer and blood disorders at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital must undergo months and sometimes years of tests, procedures, and treatments. To help make this easier, the patients earn coupons for cooperating with physical exams, treatments and painful procedures.These coupons can then be redeemed for prizes from our toy box. Getting to go “shopping” at the end of a clinic visit creates great excitement for our children.

Holiday donations also are used to help "Santa" fill bags for any children or teenagers who may have to be in the hospital during Christmas.

We also use toys during the week of CAMP KEMO in our prize room. Each year during our carnival, patients are able to earn tickets for playing games. At the end of the evening they are able to take their tickets to the “Prize Room” and pick out their prizes.

Below is a list of toys and prize suggestions.  Action figures - Spiderman, Transformers, wrestlers, etc.  Arts & crafts kits  Balls – (Nerf, footballs, basketballs, etc.)  Board games  Cars and trucks  Card games – ex.
