Part One - The Great Store Takeover 2022
Every year, we invite staff, volunteers, board members, and community friends to "take-over" a store in our community for our largest shopping event of the year. This year, we took over wal-mart with over 30 people, spent over $15,500, and purchased 1,249 items for Akron Children's Hospital.
Part Two - The Great Castle Build 2022
After unbagging and sorting through 1,249 various items that our team purchased at Wal-mart for Akron Children's Hospital, we built a castle because that's the only thing that makes sense to us. Stay tuned for PART THREE - Delivery
Part Three - A Christmas Delivery to ACH
Delivery Day at Akron Children's Hospital. This delivery included 1,249 items from Wal-Mart, 305 stuffed animals from Keillor's A Teddy Bear Shoppe - Canal Fulton, Ohio from the Bear Drive and bulk-sourced items directly from manufacturer PlayMonster Fun, local vendor Sir Troy's Toy Kingdom, local vendor The Captivating Closet. Also included were various items collected from ten Starbucks across district 1985 Akron East. All in all, we sent 3,715 items to the hospital's doors.
The ACH child life specialists will choose items catered to each child's interests and wrap them in time for Santa to hand-deliver them for Christmas. It is our privilege to be able to do this year-round for organizations across Northeast Ohio. Thank you for your continued support which makes all of this possible!
