Donate to the UCLA Toy Drive, make hospitalized kids happy

What do kids at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital want this holiday season? Check out the Wish List from the Chase Child Life Program, then make wishes come true by contributing to the annual UCLA Toy Drive through Saturday, Dec. 17.

From crayons to laptop computers, board games to books, Hello Kitty to Star Wars, the wish list represents a world of fun and creativity that helps to ease the experience of hospitalization for children, as well as for their families.

The Chase Child Life Program has been a pioneer and a national model for how to appropriately address the social, emotional and developmental needs of children, as well as their families.

Drop off your donations — all items must be new and unwrapped to meet the hospital’s strict infection-control guidelines — in any of several dozen Toy Drive barrels on campus. Click here for a complete location list.

This year’s Toy Drive is sponsored by UCLA Campus Facilities, UCLA Staff Assembly and the UCLA Medical Center Softball Lea
