Donating Toys
Guidelines for Holiday Toy Donations
In 2016, from December 10th through December 26th,
unwrapped new toys are accepted from toy drives held by
community organizations and individual donors.
Every child admitted to the Hospital over the holiday will
receive a toy. Any holiday donations that are not distributed
help sustain our ability to give toys to children in the Hospital
throughout the year.
Our Child Life Team distributes the toys to patients to
celebrate holidays, birthdays, treatment milestones, to help kids
through particularly tough days, and to supply toys to our playrooms.
Thank you
for your interest in donating toys for patients and making a difference to the children
and families served by Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Our mission:
To provide Hope, Healing and the best Healthcare for our patients and their families

Guidelines for Toy Donations
Unfortunately, due to infection control and confidentiality guidelines only our trained
volunteers may come into contact with the patients here in the hospital. To support Phoenix
Children’s standard of care, we must limit community members from delivering items to patients
personally or touring the hospital during their donation drop off.
All donated toys/items must be new and in the original packaging. Used toys &
items cannot be given to patients. Please do not wrap toys, based on regulations surrounding
Infection Control.
The Child Life Wish List can help you determine the types of toys and items to collect.
These are items that are most desired by patients in the Hospital. The list can be viewed on our web
site at http://www.phoenixchildrens.org/patients-visitors/child-life-wish-list/toy-drive-child-Life.

Guidelines for Toy Donations
(continued)
Please avoid donating items such as:

Play guns or war toys

Latex balloons due to the choking hazard and potential allergic reactions

Scary action figures

Candy, gum, or other food – many patients are on restricted diets

Used toys or books
There is always a higher need for infant and teenage toys and items. Some groups choose to
adopt a particular age group for their toy drive. Please contact us at
[email protected] if you are interested!
Donations of gift cards to retail centers in increments of $10.00 are greatly appreciated. Gift
cards are distributed to patients and families by Child Life staff to be utilized for birthday gifts,
celebrations and for specific Child Life Department needs.
We are not able to provide boxes for toy collection.
ORGANIZED TOY DRIVES must be APPROVED
Events should promote an appropriate image and be sensitive to the PCH Mission and its
position as a charitable organization for children’s healthcare. Information promoting a toy drive
event should state that “Donations will benefit Phoenix Children’s Hospital”.
Organized toy drives must comply with all relevant laws, including the laws of the State of
Arizona. Please adhere to the basic guidelines in this document if you are hosting an event to collect
toys/items and do not anticipate any monetary donations.
If you will also be collecting monetary donations, and/or plan to publicly promote your event
using the Phoenix Children’s Hospital name, likeness or brand, please contact us for approval.
For approval, please email samples to [email protected]
The Phoenix Children’s Hospital logo is a registered trademark and cannot legally be
reproduced without permission from the hospital. PCH must review all promotional materials
utilizing the PCH logo and name, prior to use (ie: press releases, public service announcements,
scripts, posters, invitations, etc.).
If circumstances warrant, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, may at any time through any of its directors,
officers, senior administrators, or Foundation, direct you to cancel the event. You hereby agree to cancel the
event, if so directed, and further agree to release Phoenix Children’s Hospital, the Foundation, and its officers,
