Dare To Care For Children

By: Mike Leggett

Again this year, the DARE TO CARE for children FOUNDATION delivered toys to children at New Hanover Regional Medical Center pediatrics wing and clinics. Santa's truck was loaded with new toys to hand out to children, but due to heavy fog in the area, the clinic was shut down early. However, Santa and his elf were able to make the rounds at the Zimmer Building and greet children and thier parents, handing out Beanie Babies along the way. Two additional truck loads of toys have been delivered by the DARE TO CARE FOR CHILDREN FOUNDATION to bring smiles to the faces of children facing traumatic illnesses at the hospital. The extra toys were dropped off with the doctors and nurses at the children's wing to distribute as they can. The toys were donated by area businesses.
