Last year’s shortage of donations left Carilion Children’s in need, and now is our chance to step up and make a difference! The Rail Yard Dawgs are partnering with Carilion Children’s to bring joy to young patients through a toy donation drive at Baseball Night, featuring the Salem Red Sox, on Friday, March 28. Our media partner for Baseball Night is 93.5/102.7 WJJS.
For children facing hospital stays, the experience can be overwhelming. That’s where Carilion Clinic’s child life specialists come in—using donated games, toys, and activities to provide comfort, distraction, and a sense of normalcy during challenging times. Every donation, big or small, helps brighten a child’s day and brings a smile when it’s needed most. Donations will be collected at each entry gate at the game.
Toy Requirements:
- New, unwrapped and latex-free
- No items with religious or violent messages
- Need ideas? Check out their wishlist on Amazon
As a thank you for your donation, please stop by the Carilion Children’s table, located outside of Gate 10, at the game on March 28 to get your picture with Diesel, Daisy & Mugsy from the Salem Red Sox before puck drop!
