Give Hope to Help Kid's Cope!

Your support of our annual Christmas in July donation drive makes it all possible. One of our most treasured events, the Christmas in July donation drive, gives our Child Life Team the resources they need to deliver smiles and a much-needed boost to the extraordinary kids being cared for at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital.

The donations received through Christmas in July help patients and their families adjust and cope more positively with whatever it is they’re going through, offering the ‘tools’ they need to navigate the more challenging aspects of their hospital experiences while having a little fun, too.

Making sure these brave youngsters keep their spirits up even when dealing with adult-sized medical conditions is at the top of our list – and we hope it’s on yours, too.

It’s not too early to spread some Christmas magic to a hospitalized child.
