I would like to share a way to purchase Christmas Gifts when you’re out Holiday shopping where you can actually help fund child medical grants for Texas families in need. All you would do is shop smile.Amazon.com and 100% of the proceeds goes to United Healthcare Children’s Foundation.
Or you can check out the Gifts below where the proceeds from these items will fund child medical grants for families who need financial assistance.
I was working on this post Charlie reminded me he wanted to adopt an Angel from the Salvation Army Tree. As Charlie was talking, I asked if he would like to purchase Gifts from smile.Amazon.com and we would be donating twice. I wish you could have seen the smile on Charlie’s Face.
Holiday gift ideas include.
- Award-winning Oliver & Hope children’s storybooks, along with plush characters
- The moon and stars set the stage for Oliver & Hope’s return in this much-anticipated follow-up to the award-winning “”Oliver & Hope’s Amusing Adventure””. Come along for the ride as Oliver the bear and Hope the butterfly join their friends Millie the barn owl and Chewie the English bulldog for their first camping trip. From fire-breathing dragons and alien spaceship encounters to a circus filled with elephants, giraffes and acrobats spinning in the air, the friends spend the night discovering the beauty of Mother Nature and playing silly games that make the shadows a little less scary and the adventure a whole lot more fun. Geared toward children ages 3-8, the book’s simple narrative and detailed illustrations allow readers to take a front row seat with these friends around the campfire, have some fun and be inspired by their limitless imagination. The best part of “”Oliver & Hope’s Adventure Under the Stars”” is the reason behind it. This story was inspired by the real-life journey of thousands of children whom the book’s proceeds support. Every purchase of “”Oliver & Hope’s Adventure Under the Stars”” funds grants offered by UHCCF to help children gain access to medically-related services that are not covered, or not fully covered, by their family’s commercial health insurance plan. You can learn more about the impact this book makes and discover fun activities and downloads, including a FREE audio recording of this book, when you visit Oliver & Hope’s Clubhouse at UHCCF.org. Released in 2014, “”Oliver & Hope’s Adventure Under the Stars”” is the sequel to award-winning story book “”Oliver & Hope’s Amusing Adventure”” and is an award winner itself, awarded the prestigious Mom’s Choice Silver Award in 2014.
- Children’s joke books
- Digit’y Do
Digit’y Do is a simple pen-and-paper game that combines Bingo, counting, probability, and guesswork. It keeps kids and adults engaged and entertained. It takes less than five minutes to explain, so you’ll be playing in no time. Best of all, proceeds from this game go to a good cause: the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF), which provides medical grants for children across the U.S. So you can have fun and help kids at the same time!
Before the partnership with UHCCF, Digit’y Do was also known as Streams or 20 Express. It won a Parent’s Choice award in 2013, and we think it deserves more attention!
Kid-designed holiday cards and 2019 wall calendars
- Grins to Go bags— this nylon drawstring backpack is filled to the brim with a dozen toys, games and activities that will inspire and amuse any boy or girl between the ages of 4 and 12.
