WHO: About The Bottomless Toy Chest: The Bottomless Toy Chest is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to delivering art projects, crafts and interactive games to hospitalized pediatric cancer patients. This year we will deliver over 30,000 toys and activities. Each item we present is brand new, gift-wrapped in cellophane and ribbon and hand-delivered to a patient.
