Pediatric Cancer Awareness Toy Drives
Every September since 2016, in honor of Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month, we've partnered with local children's hospitals to help fill their toy closets. Toys are a comforting "normal" for pediatric patients facing serious illnesses, encouraging play time during treatment.
Over the past decade, Cornerstone has delivered thousands of toys to local hospitals, strengthening our commitment to brighten the lives of children and families facing difficult times.

2025 Magical Moments
10 Years, One Magical Mission
Cornerstone proudly celebrated the 10th anniversary of our annual Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month toy drive. Our 2025 campaign, Magical Moments, was a milestone event that brought together the community to support children fighting cancer.
We set out with a goal to collect 1,000 magical toys inspired by stories like Harry Potter, Frozen, Wicked, Star Wars, and more. Thanks to your incredible generosity, we not only reached our goal, we surpassed it by nearly 40%!
2024 Toddler Toy Box
The hospitals were facing a shortage of toys for patients under 3. We launched Toddler Toy Box in 2024, donating 1,200+ baby and toddler toys and books to local hospitals.
2023 Be a Game Changer
Our team collected all kinds of games - including card games, puzzles, and even video games - for local pediatric patients. We donated a total of 1,176 games to local hospitals.
2022 Squish Out Cancer
Squishmallows are one of the most commonly requested toys at the hospitals. We collected Squishmallows of all shapes and sizes for pediatric patients, donating more than 1,100 squishy friends to pediatric patients.
2021 Creating Courage
A creative outlet can be a great distraction for kids facing serious health issues. Creating Courage collected more than 1,000 creative items like coloring books, crayons, sewing kits, sketch pads and more for patients.
2020 Build Hope
During the pandemic, hospital playrooms were shut down to limit contact points, so hospitals needed bedside play for patients. LEGOs are easily disinfected and a fun pastime for patients, so our team collected and donated 850+ sets to the hospitals.
2019 Cruisin' for a Cure
In 2019, Children's Hospital of Michigan was part of a pilot program allowing children to drive into surgery and other procedures on mini ride-on cruisers, controlled by a parent or nurse. This made a scary transition more relaxed and fun, leading to lower anxiety for pediatric patients. CCF donated 21 ride-on cruisers to the local children's hospitals.
2018 Teddy Bear Drive
Our third teddy bear drive brought in more than 500 teddy bears and other stuffed animals for pediatric cancer patients.
2017 Teddy Bear Drive
Our second teddy bear drive brought in more than 300 teddy bears and other stuffed animals for pediatric cancer patients. Freddy the Teddy's appearance on the news brought in donations from all around the metro Detroit area.
2016 Teddy Bear Drive
Our very first toy drive in 2016 was a teddy bear drive for the Children's Hospital of Michigan, collecting 300+ teddy bears for patients.
