Gracie's Army Holiday Toy Drive 2024
As our foundation works to shine the light on pediatric cancer, we also worked to be a light during the holiday season by delivering toys to our warriors and their families across the country. Thanks to an abundance of gifts donated through the Gracie’s Army Foundation Holiday Toy Drive, and with extra support from the Montville PBA Toy Drive, we were also able to visit children at Joseph M. Sanzari Children’s Hospital at Hackensack Meridian, Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown, and Newark Beth Israel.
