IAPA, Boy Scouts donate toys to pediatric patients at Edward Hospital

Indian American Political Alliance and Boy Scouts of America, Troop 99, donated more than 60 toys to Edward Foundation’s Pediatric Child Life Program toy drive. Troop member and Naperville resident Shayan Sakkaria, and his father Kader Sakkaria, a member of the Indian American Political Alliance, encouraged others to help bring holiday cheer to pediatric patients at Edward Hospital in Naperville.

The donated toys will be given to children hospitalized this holiday season and throughout the year. To assist donors interested in purchasing toys as gifts, Edward Foundation created an AmazonSmile charity list featuring approved items sought for use in the Pediatric Child Life Program. The list is available online under Edward Foundation in AmazonSmile’s searchable charities.
