12-4-16 Toy Con Charity Show

Post by Schph Gochi »

Our annual Christmas gathering in Bridgeview for Children's Treasure Chest for Pediatric Oncology.
This show benefits Children's Treasure Chest for Pediatric Oncology and provides toys as a distraction for kids at the hospital for various treatments. When our group goes to events at Lurie Children's Hospital and to Hope Children's Hospital there is Children's Treasure Chest boxes and toy closets for the patients that are provided by Children's Treasure Chest for Pediatric Oncology.

The MWG and NSB are there to take photos with participants for a donation. Those donation dollars are used to purchase gift cards for older patients.

Each year is different for this event and no matter how much we raise, our participation is highly valued by the organizer Terry. We have been a part of this Charity event from practically the beginning and Terry told us again yesterday that it would not be the Charity Show without us.

My most sincere thanks to all of our participants who came-you all got greeted by a snowstorm on your way home...so I hope everyone made it home safely and had a good time.

EDIT:
