Anasazi Chapter DAR donates to Glendale children’s hospital

Posted

The Anasazi Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, collected and delivered boxes of children’s toys and books to children at Banner Thunderbird Hospital in Glendale.

Anasazi focuses each month on a service project to which members can donate in support of community service, preserving history and educating children. The most recent service project was to provide new toys/books for Children’s at Banner Thunderbird, 5555 W. Thunderbird Road, Glendale.

Children’s at Banner maintains multiple “toy closets” in the hospital where children can select a special toy after any treatment. The Banner Children’s Hospital School program brings the classroom to the hospital.

Teachers at Banner offer on-site classroom or bedside teaching to help kids keep up with their studies while they are in the hospital.

Some of the items that are especially needed for the “toy closets’ include infant/toddler light-up toys, rattles, small containers of Play Doh, Hot Wheels, cardboard books for toddlers, puzzles, and seek-and-find books.

The Banner school program needs spiral notebooks, folders, loose leaf paper with support rings, mechanical pencils, Crayola crayons, colored pencil packs and educational materials to help with math, shapes and other early school learning topics.

Anasazi Chapter DAR delivered toys and books to Wendy Pauker, associate director of child life, and Jodi Rall, pediatric academic coordinator for school services at Banner Thunderbird Hospital.
