Our annual virtual fundraiser gives children in hospitals a little relief from the stress of their treatment gifting them a bag full of entertainment. With these items, we’re able to inject some fun into the monotony of a little patient’s day. Our gift is like a party in a bag… complete with activity books, puzzles, fidget spinners, coloring books, stress balls and more. All items are a result of requests by those closest to children in health systems. In partnering with children’s health systems from Dallas to Boston, The TGB Foundation is able to reach children nationwide with this relief effort.
An optimistic mental state is linked to an increase in natural serotonin levels, which William Lamson, PhD an assistant professor of psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine points out, stabilizes mood and contributes to overall well-being. Evidence that a positive mental state contributes to the ability to overcome hardship is stronger than ever.
Our gifts of entertainment are a welcome relief for children going through hard times.
Post-COVID, we plan to host in-person hospital parties for little patients. In the meantime, this virtual fundraiser helps alleviate tension for these families.
