🎁 Faces of Courage Holiday Camp Gift Drive
This holiday season, Faces of Courage is once again hosting its special Holiday Camp for children ages 2–12 who have been diagnosed with cancer, sickle cell, or hemophilia—along with their well siblings.
A highlight of this magical weekend is Santa’s Shop, where the children use their free “Reindeer Bucks” to choose holiday gifts for their loved ones—moms, dads, siblings, pets, and even their favorite doctors and nurses!
To make this experience truly special, we need your help!
We’re seeking donations of new or regiftable items that the children can select as gifts. We need everything from toys to adult gifts, including presents for pets.
❌ Please note: For health and safety, we cannot accept used stuffed animals.
Teens can be the hardest to shop for, so we especially appreciate:
🎟️ Gift cards (Walmart, Target, Publix, gas stations, restaurants, or movie theaters)
🏀 Sports items like basketballs and footballs
In addition to gifts, Santa’s elves are needed to help wrap the presents! We welcome donations of gift bags, Scotch tape, scissors, and tissue paper.
