Your Gift Brings Smiles and Hope to UW Health Kids

Help fund toys, activities and comfort items for kids at UW Health through our Virtual Toy Drive.

Your gift brings comfort, play and smiles to young patients at UW Health during their most challenging moments.


SwedishAmerican Health Foundation is excited to launch our month-long 2025 VIRTUAL TOY DRIVE to bring joy and comfort to children at UW Health Women and Children’s Hospital—home to the Rockford region’s only inpatient pediatric unit.


By supporting our Virtual Toy Drive, you help the Child Life Program provide age-appropriate toys, activities and comfort items for children receiving care in our clinics, emergency department and inpatient units. Your generosity offers hope and healing when kids and families need it most.


Our Child Life Program positively impacts hundreds of local children every year through therapeutic play, special events and meaningful moments that help sick kids feel seen, supported and a little more like themselves. These experiences are made possible thanks to charitable gifts from caring individuals and community partners.

Give the gift of joy. Help warm a child’s heart this holiday season.
Support our Virtual Toy Drive online today! Your generosity helps meet the needs of our youngest patients all year long.

Together, we can make the season brighter for every child.
