Kids in the hospital need fun too, not just medicine. That's why we started Christmas in July!
In July 2026 we had our very first Christmas in July toy drive at Awaken Church, which is our church. It lasted two weekends. We collected brand-new toys for kids at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, all from Aflac's approved list so every toy is safe.
Our church showed up
My mom and I got to talk about Heart4Kids on stage at Awaken (I was a little nervous!). Everyone was SO generous. By the end, the toys covered a whole table, the couch, and the floor around them.
Christmas came early this year!
We want to do this every summer. If you want the 2027 toy list when it's ready, send us a note and we'll make sure you get it.
