Join us on December 10th from 11a.m. to 3p.m. for a day of delicious fun at the Visitor Center as we decorate gingerbread houses, a sweet tradition for all ages. The only admission we ask for is one toy per participant.
Trevor Blake is a 10 year old boy who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma at the age of 5. One day during his initial seven months of treatment, when heis fortunate enough to get out of the hospital he would like to come back to visit other kids that are battling cancer while they are in the hospital.
He would like to bring a treasure chest full of toys room-to-room and allow the children to choose from the chest of toys, something to brighten their day.
Since Trevor came up with this generous idea they started a non-profit organization called “Trevor’s Treasures”. Leesylvania State Park found out about Trevor’s Treasures’ mission and wanted to help with hosting a toy drive so Trevor can deliver all the toys.
Here is a suggested list of items that would be nice to have for upcoming visits to the hospital:
Toys: Princess Teapot filled with Dishes, Baby Dolls, Infant Toys, Superhero Figures, Littlest Pet Shop Sets, Link A Doos, Over-the-Door Basketball Hoops, etc…
Games: Cranium: Whoonu Game, Elefun, Card Games, Travel Games, Nintendo DS Games, etc…
Crafts: Kids Sewing Kits, Candle Decorating, Sand Art, Beads, Foam Craft Kits, Glitter, Coloring Books, Crayons, Glue, Construction Paper, etc…

Misc: Batteries/Small Screwdriver Set (To put batteries in toys when the kids open them)
