23 Photos | Season’s Treatings Offered Secret Shopping
On Thursday, Dec. 15, parents of children hospitalized at UVA Children’s were invited to do some “secret shopping” for their children at a holiday shop inside the hospital. UVA Child Life Specialists and the Patient Family Centered Care Committee of the UVA Children’s Advisory Board hosted the Season’s Treatings event.
Gifts were donated by UVA employees, local donors, and other local organizations including Operation BradyStrong Mission M&M Christmas Toy Drive and the “Stuff the Saddlebags” toy drive. All gifts were free to families.
Here are a few photos from the event — thank you to all who donated and participated in making this event so successful!
Hello! This is a great cause. Thank you for setting this up. As an employee, I would have loved to donate, but did not hear anything about this opportunity. Could you please make sure all sites are informed of the donation period and process next year?
Thanks for the comment, KP. The UVA Health Update (which is republished on Connect) posted notices regularly in November and December about donations, in anticipation of the Dec. 9 donation deadline. We’re sorry you missed them — we’ll do better next year!
