As Rochester’s weather starts to turn cold, Primetime585 is hosting a Coat and Toy drive for 2 great causes…
Golisano Children’s Hospital – Sickle Cell Unit
PrimeTime585 has adopted the Sickle Cell Unit at Golisano Children’s Hospital. Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that is present at birth. It can be diagnosed in children as young as 6 months old. It is a painful disease that can lead to infection, cause strokes, and can require many blood transfusions. While this unit is serving over 150 children, it wasn’t as well known as others, and therefore wasn’t receiving many donations. Primetime585 is working to change that.
*** Coats and Toys must be new for the hospital. ***
Rochester City Schools
Primetime585 has also adopted 5 city schools for this drive. Gently used coats and new toys are being collected to support families in these under-resourced areas.
More Information
Vertical Boost is assisting PrimeTime585 by helping collect the donations in Fairport at the following locations:
Some boxes will be collecting coats only and some will be collecting both coats and toys. This was done to not interfere with other drives of the same type.
The collection boxes will be open until Friday, December 16th. Thank you in advance for all of your support!
