'Christmas in July' Toy Drive for Hospitalized Children
Bring comfort and cheer to the children of St. Joseph Children's Hospital with a "Christmas in July" toy drive run in conjunction with participating Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins locations.
St. Joseph's Children's Hospital is teaming with participating Baskin-Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts locations to celebrate "Christmas in July" for the cause of bringing comfort and cheer to children througout the year, and not just during the holiday season.
Patrons are asked to bring in a new, unwrapped toy worth $10 or more to support the cause. In exchange, each patron who does so will receive a free donut or a free small, 3-ounce soft-serve cone.
