According to Children’s Medical Center Foundation President Brent Christopher,
“The holiday season is here, which means you’re already making plans to see family and friends and participate in all kinds of fun. No matter how you celebrate or who you celebrate with, most parents and caregivers can agree that seeing the magic of the holidays come to life through kids’ eyes is the best part. At Children’s Health, this is something we think about year-round as we work to make life better for children.
“This year, we’re asking you to consider adding one more recipient to your shopping list. Don’t worry, it doesn’t require a trip to yet another store. You can do it simply by investing in the children of our community through Children’s Medical Center Foundation, the fundraising arm for Children’s Health.
“No matter what you’re able to give, there are many ways to ‘Bring the Magic’ and share special, heartfelt support with patients at Children’s Health during this time of year:
- “Purchase Holiday Ornaments and Cards: Add a festive touch to your tree with a Radko ornament, inspired by our patient, Annabella’s, beautiful artwork, or with greeting cards, photo cards and stickers also featuring the creativity of our patients.
- “Visit Santa’s Workshop: The in-person Santa’s Workshop event in Plano is back, and it will be full of magical holiday moments. Come and enjoy a photo with Santa and his sleigh, a brunch buffet, hot chocolate bar, coffee bar, holiday entertainment, crafts and more fun for the whole family.
- “Buy a Gift from our Amazon Wish List: Provide gifts for children that will be staying at Children’s Health during this holiday season by purchasing an item from our Amazon Wish List. You can choose items like stuffed animals, drum sets, video games, coloring books, board games, LEGO sets, dolls and more.
“Regardless of how you choose to get involved, these small gestures can bring big holiday magic to patients at Children’s Health. In addition to the opportunities listed above, there are plenty of other ways to give back this holiday season listed at Bringmagictochildrens.com.
“As always, we appreciate you considering Children’s Medical Center Foundation as you look for ways to give back this holiday season. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of children all across our community. Happy holidays!”
