We’re kicking off the 10th Annual Team Cameron Toy Drive to benefit the children at Nemours Children’s Hospital (formerly A.I. duPont Hospital for Children)


By: Laurie A. McCarthy, Esquire

The Team Cameron Toy Drive is run by the Cameron McCarthy Foundation, named in honor of my daughter, who, in May of 2015 - just before her 7th birthday - was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma – a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. Cameron and I spent a lot of time in the hospital, often weeks at a time, during her year-long treatment, so we know firsthand how much a new toy or game can brighten up the day for kids stuck inside the hospital. Cameron is now 7 ½ years cancer free and loves giving back to the hospital every year. Please consider supporting our Team Cameron Toy Drive with a donation!
