Spread Joy: Nicklaus Children's Annual Toy Drive Returns December 19 at Both Campuses
Toys, books, gift cards, and financial support — every contribution to Spread Joy becomes a moment of joy for a child in treatment at Nicklaus Children's.
Part of our ongoing curation of what it means to live, love, and play in the Magic City.
Philanthropy
On Saturday, December 19th, Nicklaus Children's Hospital invites South Florida to join the annual Spread Joy Toy Drive — simultaneously at both the Miami Campus (3100 SW 62nd Avenue) and the Fort Lauderdale location.
Generous donations of toys, books, gift cards, or financial support help create unforgettable memories for children in care. The hospital's teams distribute these gifts throughout the year — from birthdays to milestones reached during treatment, or as tools for healing through play.
There are multiple ways to participate: create a personal fundraiser, become a corporate sponsor, or purchase items directly from the Spread Joy wish lists curated by Child Life Specialists who know exactly what each unit needs most.
For questions about volunteering or drop-off, contact AnnualGiving@Nicklaushealth.org. Every contribution — no matter the size — brings a smile to a child who needs it.
