Partnering with the Bottomless Toy Chest, the JCC invited members and guests to donate toys to be donated to young cancer patients in local hospi- tals. More than 150 presents including dolls, books, games and art supplies were donated; staff then wrapped the gifts, which included get-well cards created by preschoolers from the JCC’s Sarah and Irving Pitt Child Development Center. Kids from the Sarah and Irving Pitt Child Development Center wrote and designed get-well cards, which were attached to the packages.
