How it Works

How It Works

The Children's Hospital Virtual Toy Drive is just like shopping on the Internet. The idea is that you search through our list of items by age, category, or price. Once you find something you would like to purchase for use in Children's Hospital, simply click on the "quantity" button to choose how many you would like to buy of that particular item, and then hit the "buy now" button. Once you have selected the items you would like to purchase, you are ready to check out.

Once you have checked out and your gift has been finalized, the funds for your items are made available for Children's Hospital staff to order or purchase. As a donor, you are selecting an item and supplying the funds. The staff at Children's Hospital then take care of securing the items you selected. You can feel confident in knowing that what you chose is what your money will be purchasing. All items on the Virtual Toy Drive are designated needs of Children's Hospital. The Virtual Toy Drive was created to make it easy to buy meaningful gifts needed by our patients.


To enhance your experience as a donor, you will need to set up a user name and password on the homepage. When return to the site and log in you will be reminded about items you have put in your shopping cart but may not have purchased yet, etc.
