The Luke Neuhedel Foundation recently announced the Third Annual Toy Drive to benefit children with cancer and recognize Children's Cancer Awareness Month. Please donate new toys or gift cards to any store (no stuffed toys please ... they cannot be sterilized to protect the immune system of cancer patients). Toys are distributed to major pediatric oncology centers on Long Island: (include. Schneider's, Winthrop, Stony Brook); NYC (including NY-Presbyterian, Sloan Kettering); and various centers in the US (including TX, CA, NC, FL.)

The Toy Drive runs from Sept. 20 - 30. The following businesses are collection centers: Park Dance Center and Park Dental on Park Blvd., Massapequa Park. Jacto Dance Studio, Broadway, Massapequa; Universe Appliance, Merrick Rd., Seaford; LI Radio Group, Airport Plaza, Route 110, Farmingdale. Check for updates at www.lukefund.org. If you would like to involve your business or school as a collection site, or have any questions, please contact LNF at 882-9183 or at happyface@lukeund.org.

The Luke Neuhedel Foundation is a 501c3 charity, founded in memory of 3-year-old Luke Neuhedel, dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with cancer through education, research and aid to families, helping hundreds of children with cancer every year.
