Bring a Toy Saturday

This is for a good cause.

For the eighth straight year the Walter Camp Football Foundation is working with the Yale-New Haven Hospital Auxilary’s Toy Closets Program, asking fans to bring new unwrapped toys and drop them off in the Hospitality Village.

The Yale-New Haven Hospital Auxiliary’s Toy Closets program was developed to provide new, age-appropriate and educational toys to pediatric patients at the Yale-New Haven Children’s Hospital.

Founded in 1993 by Ann Nyberg, WTNH News Channel 8 anchorwoman, the Toy Closets help insure that pediatric patients come away from their hospitalization with a pleasant memory. In addition, the toys serve as gifts for special occasions such as birthdays and holiday celebrations for hospitalized children.
