For the patients at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, holidays are hard rather than happy. Fulton Homes teamed with 99.9KEZ to provide books and toys to children who face a hospital stay during the holiday season.

There’s something special about receiving an unexpected present, and these surprises can help make a difficult holiday more festive and exciting. Parents also appreciate the attention and positive experience these gifts give their children.

For many of these children, the ability to forget their pain and discomfort for a while in reading a new book or playing with a new toy is the best present they could receive.

“This program is a way for Fulton Homes to bring smiles of joy to the boys and girls at Phoenix Children’s Hospital,” Doug Fulton, Fulton Homes CEO, said. “We are happy to team up with KEZ to bring these wonderful and courageous children the books and toys they need.”

Before Christmas, the books and toys will be distributed to the children in the Emily Center at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

The Books and Toys for Girls and Boys Holiday Drive is another in a series of programs which include the Fulton Homes Noon Salute, Character Counts, Teacher of the Week and Fence Patrol. For more on this and other programs, visit our website.

Fulton Homes wants to thank all of those who contributed to this important toy and book drive. Yes, we’re proud to build, and we’re also proud and pleased to support those children in our community who are facing a challenging time and can use a bit of a boost this holiday season.
