“You will never stand taller than when you kneel to help a child”

 

Eleven years ago “Brighten Up for the Kids” was created to collect toys, and gifts as well as raise money for the children who will be staying at Akron Children’s Hospital of the Mahoning Valley during the holidays.  All toys, gifts, and monetary donations go to Akron Children’s Hospital of the Mahoning Valley and the special care unit for babies.

​

This year due to Covid restrictions we have added an Online Auction to raise funds to purchase toys. 

​

Please visit the link below to join the Auction:
