The C.S. Mott Children's Hospital Toy Drive was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who donated toys and supported this cause. Your generosity will bring joy to children receiving treatment at Mott.
On Oct. 8, Notre Dame Preparatory School senior Sofia Neubauer delivered 201 new toys to University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor.

At Mott, Sofia was welcomed by Kori Crosby, the hospital's Community Relations Manager. Crosby commended Sofia for her generosity and for the leadership she showed in organizing the drive from start to finish. She noted that a donation of this size, made up entirely of the new toys the hospital needs most, would bring comfort and moments of joy to young patients and their families during some of their most difficult days.
