As the holiday season approaches, the thought of helping others are on the minds of everyone! That is the thought shared by Scott Melville for the less fortunate children in the area. Because of your generous participation and the help of many volunteers our toy drive will grow again this year to reach more children in the Kennedy Krieger network to create this special childhood experience for less fortunate kids. We will turn those thoughts into action by having Santa personally deliver gifts to the children at multiple Kennedy Krieger Institute campuses and The Human Services of Carroll County. Santa and his elves will fly into town on his sleigh December 5th for the special delivery.
The gifts Santa brings will create the opportunity for these children to experience the joy of receiving a toy during this holiday season. It is your generosity that will help us achieve our goal of helping children experience the excitement of the holidays. We appreciate any donation you can make for this event. We need toys for boys and girls of all ages and all donations are personally handed to each child by Santa himself. We are not just delivering toys, we are creating a great childhood experience.
