Thousands of toys donated to Children's Hospital

It's never fun being at the hospital, especially for kids who are there during the holidays. Most the time parents are so busy caring for their child in the hospital, buying gifts is the last thing on their mind. That’s why these toy drives are so important, delivering smiles to all the kids at the hospital in the form of toys.

For them- it's personal.

Children's Hospital played a big part in Mark and Amy Dismuke's life.

Their youngest son needed the hospital’s help and to this day they have never forgotten the care and support they received.

So for 9 years now, they’ve put together a toy drive benefiting Children's hospital.

It's never fun being at the hospital, especially for kids who are there during the holidays.

Most the time parents are so busy caring for their child in the hospital, buying gifts is the last thing on their mind.

That’s why these toy drives are so important, delivering smiles to all the kids at the hospital in the form of toys.

Mark is the general manager of Ferrari of Denver. He and his wife, Amy started the drive almost a decade ago with 12 people and three wagons.

It’s continued to grow year after year.

Last year they donated more than 3,000 presents and this year their goal is to exceed that number.

Wednesday morning they will load all the presents into dozens of Ferraris (some kids even get to ride in the cars to the hospital) and get a Colorado State Patrol escort all the way to the main hospital campus in Aurora.

There, all the toys will be unloaded into the lobby for the kids there to come down and pick out all in hopes of brightening their stay at Children’s.
