The Festival of Stars Toy and Donation Drive and Radiothon raised $364,249 for Arkansas Children’s, making the holidays brighter for the patients and families of Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Arkansas Children’s Northwest, the state’s local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
All toys and monetary donations collected during the statewide event support patients and their families at Arkansas Children’s during the holiday season and throughout the year. Arkansas Children’s is still accepting monetary donations and toys purchased through its Walmart and Amazon wish lists through Dec. 31. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org/festival.
