Child’s Play

Xavier plays a new Game Boy Advance, which was given to the hospital through the Child’s Play program in 2005.

Child’s Play, based in Seattle, was created in 2003 by an internet community of gamers. It has raised nearly $1 million dollars in toys, games and cash for sick children around the country. Last year, Child’s Play raised almost $10,000 in toys, games and cash for The Nebraska Medical Center.

U.S. Marines Make Toy Delivery

Last year holiday spirits were soaring Dec. 22 when the U.s. Marines, along with Santa, made a Toys for Tots stop at The Nebraska Medical Center. Santa made a dramatic entrance by helicopter before distributing toys to our pediatric patients. Four-year-old Andrea, had a chance to visit with Santa before receiving her present. This year the Marines will be making their toy delivery on December 20th.
