2025 was our best year yet with the Birthday Toy Drive!
This year marked our 8th Annual Birthday Toy Drive & Party, and thanks to the support of our community, it was truly unforgettable. With the help of six amazing sponsors, 31 raffle donors, 22 support teammates & more than 20 individual donors, we were able to collect 1,210 brand-new toys & books. On top of that, we raised $545 at our raffle table, which was used to purchase even more toys and books to add to that total!
Our original goal for the 8th Annual Birthday Toy Drive was 500 toys and books, and we more than doubled it thanks to all of you. We truly cannot thank you enough.
We’d like to give a special shoutout to Moni Bakes Sweet Dreams for hosting multiple bake sales to contribute to our toy drive! If you haven’t had a chance to try Moni Bakes Sweet Dreams, please consider placing an order today.
Lastly, we’d like to give a big thank you to our friend Ashley Ann Photography for taking the photos at our 8th Annual Birthday Toy Drive!
This year, we also added Pumpkin Painting as a new event. Participants received a pumpkin & supplies to paint their pumpkin for a chance to win a prize. Donors even gave their pumpkins to others to paint, which allowed us to raise $150 to purchase additional toys and books for The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh.
Along with our annual toy drive, we hosted our 2nd Annual Keep Warm Drive, where we collected over 75 new coats & winter accessories. Through Keep Warm Kit donations, we also raised $440, which went toward purchasing even more coats and accessories for The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, sponsored, supported & helped the Birthday Toy Drive grow in 2025.
In 2026, we’re looking to grow even more — by partnering with more businesses to collect toys throughout the year, hosting more family-friendly events, collaborating with new organizations & bringing you even more fun.
Please consider subscribing to our newsroom & following us on all our social media channels to stay up to date with everything happening in 2026.
