Tyler's Toyz

HERE IT IS!!

This is the link provided to Tyler's Toyz to be used in lieu of our annual stuffed animal donation. We are so thankful Children's Medical Center Dallas shared this with us, finding a different way for us (and you) to support the staff, patients, and their families.

You can scroll to your heart's content, or use the "Search this list" feature if you already have something in mind. You will find everything from gaming systems, smart tablets and other electronics, to books, movies, action figures, dolls, arts, crafts, and, of course... stuffed animals!

Please DO NOT to ship any items directly to the address listed at the top - Amazon actually delivers to an undisclosed, off-site location (for safety and security reasons). You'll select "Children's Medical Center Dallas - Child Life Gift Registry Address" at checkout.

Lastly, please select the "This item is a gift" option. This year, we are asking anyone that contributes to add to their note! The Children's staff will be helping us track gifts purchased by Tyler's Toyz supporters and sharing photos on social media of staff receiving the items at the warehouse!

As always, thank you for your support, and for helping us honor Tyler's legacy of giving to others. 💙 There is just enough time before Christmas to wipe this list clean... please share this post and help us spread the word!!

We rarely post anything other than Tyler’s Toyz events or information, but were asked to share this with our followers on behalf of the family.

Grayson resides in the Mineola (East Texas) area... a community that has been so, so supportive of Tyler’s Toyz for several years.

He will be having surgery at Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas this January. If you would like to support him and his family, contact information for the purchase of raffle tickets can be found on the flyer.

* This is not a Tyler’s Toyz benefit and the information has been vetted to the best of our ability. *

We celebrated Tyler’s 6th birthday yesterday, and shared a great day with family to remember our sweet boy. Thank you to the countless friends, family, and supporters that sent Happy Birthday messages - it always means the world to us that others remember him, too.

As most of you know, we always announce the kick-off of our annual Tyler’s Toyz donation drive on November 5th, as well. And on that note, we have good news (and bad news) to share with everyone who has been waiting to send their furry friends our way.

After significant thought, consideration, and conversation with our Child Life contact at Children's Medical Center Dallas , Tyler’s Toyz will not be collecting stuffed animals for donation this year... not how we usually do, anyway 😉

The wonderful people at Children’s agreed that our donation style would not align with hospital COVID protocols, especially if the number of cases continues to increase through the holiday season. The last thing we would EVER want to do is put patients, their families, or the staff at greater risk of exposure to this virus.

HOWEVER!! We were provided with a link to the Children’s (Dallas-specific) Amazon wish list! Through this method, your stuffed animal donation will arrive at their doorstep, be sanitized per their standards and requirements, and make its way to a kiddo in need of a smile... just like it always has. ☺️

Adam is also working out the logistics to virtually host our 4th Annual Adair's Saloon Donation Drive. We won’t let this year keep us from live music, fellowship, or supporting a fantastic local business that has supported us year-after-year.

Yes - we are bummed... SO BUMMED... that we will not be showing up with THOUSANDS of stuffed animals to deliver Christmas week. But we feel beyond blessed to still have a way to support Children’s how they need it most.

For now... stay safe, stay healthy, and stay tuned for more details! Coming soon! 💙

Another year and another fantastic day delivering YOUR donations to Children's Medical Center Dallas.

Our 2019 donation of 3,631 brand new stuffed animals means 14,301 furry friends have been delivered in Tyler’s name since 2014.

From the bottom of our hearts... THANK YOU!!

We’re loaded!!

Here we come Children's Medical Center Dallas!!

If this doesn’t get you excited for tomorrow, I don’t know what will!!

Things escalated quickly as we bagged the last of the donations tonight!!

Any guesses on the final number?!?!

Wonderful day in East Texas as we made the rounds to collect from some of our long-time donation drop off locations.

Started out at Hainesville Baptist Church where the youth ministry and congregation had been collecting for over a month. Special thanks to Jessica Clanton Bryant and Chris Bryant for several years of support and donations!

Next up was a pit stop at Dee's Paint and Body in Mineola. Another wonderful family that has supported us for YEARS in memory of their own son. We could not do what we do without Teri, Danny, Morgan, and Ramsey. CBC 🏁

Finished off back in the city at Sewell Cadillac of Dallas. Customers, employees, and the dealership more than DOUBLED their donation from last year... gifting us with 358 stuffed animals. 😁Thank you to Keith Mills and Carl Miller for making this donation one for the books!

Thanks to everyone who messaged us concerning possible delivery issues over the weekend. 🙏🏼

Just wanted to let you know... we got them!! The Post Office was so *ahem*... “thrilled”... they gave us our own cart in the receiving room 😉

LESS THAN ONE WEEK LEFT!!

If you’ve been waiting to ship your furry friends to our PO Box, please mail your donation today. We hope to have all stuffed animals in our possession by the end of the day Wednesday, December 18th. We will count on Thursday, and make the delivery to Children's Medical Center Dallas on Friday! 😁

If you prefer to leave them at one of our North Texas or East Texas drop-off locations, please send us a message and we will direct you to the closest one.

We still need many, many more to meet our goal, so send us everything you have! Thank you to everyone that has already donated!

The 3rd Annual Donation Drive was another one for the books!

Clint Sherman of Blackland Fever kicked off the event for a third year in a row, AJ Guel brought the steel guitar, and the The Shaun Outen Band brought down the house!!

Special thanks to Adair's Saloon for hosting, and to all of the friends, family, and supporters that showed up with 117 stuffed animals for Children's Medical Center Dallas. 💙

Thank you to Perkins+Will Dallas for your donation! We stopped by last Friday to collect more than 30 stuffed animals Stephanie Helmberger and fellow coworkers brought in for our 2019 donation to Children's Medical Center Dallas. We even brought along our resident bagging expert... she did all the heavy lifting!

North Dallas!!

If you’re looking for a drop-off location, stop by Sewell Cadillac of Dallas near Love Field. This is their second year to collect for Tyler’s Toyz, and we are so grateful for their support.

Our friends Keith Mills and Carl Miller will point you toward the brand new Cadillac XT5 they are trying to fill to the sunroof with stuffed animals benefitting the families and patients at Children's Medical Center Dallas.
