Toys, Toys...We want Toys!

Team Lizzie Bell donates toys to pediatric patients every time they get pricked for blood. Please help us deliver more smiles to these precious young patients

“Last time I was at a hospital there were no toys at all. There was a little boy that got a BIG NEEDLE and was promised a toy. So after he got poked he goes to the Toy Box and starts crying, NO TOYS. I did not know what to do. The look on his face is still in my head. So please if you can, donate a toy or two - TODAY. Thank you.”
- Lizzie Bell, 8 years old

One of the most important projects of Team Lizzie Bell is Lizzie's Loot, which is a special partnership with Banner Childrens Hospital to provide toys to pediatric patients in an effort to deliver joys and smiles to these amazing children.

Lizzie’s Loot™ is a program of Team Lizzie Bell that preserves the comfort of medically fragile kids with pediatric medical equipment, toys, and gift cards. To a child coping with a chronic, life threatening medical condition the hospital becomes a second home with frequent visits required for treatment. Through Lizzie’s Loot, children who must regularly cope with uncomfortable procedures have something to look forward to.

History of the Toy Box:

When Jimmy Busey was one year old, his dad David Busey made him a toy box. For years, it was just a plain, unfinished box that was never painted. After Jimmy died at age six (nearly seven), Kathy and David Droege, also bereaved parents, had the idea to use a toy box in the 3rd floor clinic at University Medical Center, Tucson. Jimmy's toy box was placed in the clinic in late 1993. David Busey painted it bright yellow, Jimmy's favorite color. Then it was taken to a monthlyCandlelighters' meeting for all the children to put their handprints on it. An engraved plaque was added later.

“Last time I was at a hospital there were no toys at all. There was a little boy that got a BIG NEEDLE and was promised a toy. So after he got poked he goes to the Toy Box and starts crying, NO TOYS. I did not know what to do. The look on his face is still in my head. So please if you can, donate a toy or two - TODAY. Thank you.” - Lizzie Bell, 8 years old

Lizzie Bell of the John P. Bell Family Foundation created the “Lizzie's Loot" toy box campaign and is dedicated to keeping the toy box full.
