TOY DRIVE
GIVING BACK
We know what it’s like to be in the hospital during the holiday season, which is why Children’s Mercy Hospital remains close to our hearts. They cared deeply for Nolan and continue to care for hundreds of children every day.
Each November/December, we host our Annual Toy Drive to give back and bring a little extra joy to children spending the holidays in the hospital.
Toys can be purchased through our Amazon store or brought to one of our drop-off locations. We are grateful for your support!
Drop-off Locations:
- Foundry Church
- TocaFusion Fieldhouse
- Blue Valley West High School
- Champions Run - Sporting Park (Dec 5)
How It Began
Our Annual Toy Drive began in 2023 after Nolan’s passing, thanks to the incredible initiative of Blue Valley West High School student Sebastian Poe.
Sebastian took the lead in bringing the Toy Drive to life—from reaching out to sponsors and organizing blue Nolan T-shirts for the school, to coordinating the annual Teddy Bear Toss, toy drop-off locations, and Amazon orders. Sebastian and a handful of other students personally helped receive and sort all of the donations out of her garage and deliver them to Children’s Mercy.
We are so grateful for Sebastian’s vision and leadership. What began as a way to honor Nolan has grown into a meaningful tradition that brings joy to children spending the holidays in the hospital.
