Alberta

Fast forward to 2024, and Tatas for Toys made about $38,000. Rather than donating the cash, Ross and some of the dancers went on a massive shopping spree at Mudpuddles Toys & Books in Sherwood.

Doernbecher’s Child Life Therapy Program serves about 10,000 children a year, according to manager Rebekah Coles, and the toys are an important tool. The department uses toys not only for fun or comfort for the patients, but also things like demonstrating how an IV works on a doll or a stuffed animal.

“We really, really need it,” Coles says. “It’s our interventions that we use for these kids. It’s big.”

“A kid should get to be a kid,” Ross says. “So when someone is in the hospital, and it’s the holidays, I want to do whatever we can to help them through this time. I want them to feel like Scrooge McDuck swimming through a mountain of toys.”

I crossposted here as they're doing another charity event in Alberta.

I found this funny as I'm suprised they chose Alberta of all places for their charity event😂
