Umbrella is Collecting Toys for the Kids!

/ General, The Client Perspective, Umbrella Life / By

The Umbrella team is joining forces with the Shadow Buddies Foundation and we’re calling all elves! The 2021 holiday season is right around the corner and Umbrella Managed Systems is humbled to officially announce we have again partnered with the Shadow Buddies Foundation for their annual Holiday Hugs Toy Drive for Kids. With the spirit of the holidays upon us the toy drive is a great cause that benefits medically challenged children and children in need within Kansas City’s communities.

The Shadow Buddies Foundation is a non-profit children’s charitable organization devoted to providing support and knowledge to young children with severe illnesses and disabilities. With a mission to supply emotional support for severely ill children, the Shadow Buddies Foundation offers unique programs designed to enhance the lives of children and adults in Kansas City.
As one of Kansas City’s leading local charities, we are committed to bringing a “buddy” to every child we can who is faced with a medical condition. Our buddies help banish the shadows and show a child that they are never alone. Love, support, and friendship are there with them through every trial.

This year Shadow Buddies Foundation is in need of new toys for all ages and will be accepting donations starting Monday, November 1st and ending the first weekend in December.
To help them collect as many toys as possible, Umbrella will be rallying our staff to help donate toys as well as accepting donations on behalf of the organization.
Each year the Shadow Buddies Foundations gathers donations and prepares them to be distributed among the children. The Shadow Buddies Foundation will be working hand-in-hand with the hospitals, physicians, Child Life Specialists, and other non-profit organizations in our community to help keep everyone safe and healthy while delivering the toys. Their goal is to spread the magic and brighten the lives of children this holiday season!
