Why We Do This.
This isn’t just a toy drive.
It’s a memorial in motion. A tribute to the children who were forgotten, erased from history after contracting HIV through tainted blood transfusions or birth. Their names may be lost, but their stories still echo.
We remember them. Loudly.
Who This Helps.
Every child.
Every hospital room.
Every diagnosis.
This drive doesn’t discriminate because joy shouldn’t either.
All toys and proceeds go to children hospitalized for any reason at Southeast Georgia Health System. Whether they’re fighting chronic illness, recovering from surgery, or waiting for test results, they deserve magic.

The Real Message
HIV still carries stigma. Children are still caught in its wake.
This toy drive tells the world:
We remember. We fight. And we bring joy where silence used to live.
TEN YEARS. TEN TOY DRIVES. ONE BIG HEART.
For a decade, this community has shown up for kids, and this year we are going bigger. Join us Saturday, December 5 at Cactus Mexican Restaurant, 1305 Gloucester St, Brunswick, GA 31520 for a green eggs and ham breakfast with Santa and the Grinch!
Every adult needs a $1 ticket. Kids get in free with a toy. Adult meals are priced by Cactus.
Seatings run every hour from 10am to 2pm. Grab your tickets before your hour fills up!
