To celebrate Christmas season and spread cheers to needy, underprivileged children, American University of Health Sciences Foundation (AUHS Foundation) holds an Annual Santa Cause Toys for Joy giveaway each December.

In addition to picking out a free new toy, children have the opportunity to take a photo with Santa and Mrs. Clause. AUHS Foundation advocates early literacy by providing free books for children to take home to enhance their home library.  To top off all the fun, kids receive candy canes and snack bags. The AUHS Foundation partners local elementary schools, charitable institutions and social services agencies to distribute toy vouchers to children in need.

AUHS Foundation would like to receive donations of new toys, stuffed animals, new winter coats, cookies, hot chocolate, and theme park passes that can be raffled off to attendees to give them a special holiday trip for needy families that struggle to provide the basics for their children.
