Arkansans can make the holidays brighter for children across Arkansas by participating in the annual Festival of Stars Toy and Donation Drive and Radiothon on Dec. 10.
From 7 a.m.-7 p.m., participants can drop off new toys at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Arkansas Children’s Northwest, and listen live in central Arkansas to the hospital’s radiothon on Alice 107.7, B98.5 FM, and Cumulus Stations to hear interviews with Arkansas Children’s patients and hospital staff. Toys and monetary donations will be accepted at contactless, curbside drop-off locations on the Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Arkansas Children’s Northwest campuses on the day of the event. Participants can also donate or shop online at www.archildrens.org/festival now through Dec. 10.
The Festival of Stars Toy and Donation Drive and Radiothon is an effort to collect toys for patients spending the holiday season at Arkansas Children’s. Donated toys will be distributed to patients and families statewide during the holidays and throughout the year.
The evening of Dec. 10, Arkansas Children’s will announce the statewide total raised in toys and monetary donations.
To view our wish lists, or to make a monetary donation, visit www.archildrens.org/festival.
To protect patients from infections, all donated items must be new, unwrapped and in original packaging. Questions? Email volunteer@archildrens.org.
For patient safety, Arkansas Children’s is unable to accept riding toys of any kind.
