Giving Tuesday has become a well-recognized addition to the popular holiday shopping days just after Thanksgiving, and this year it falls on Nov. 30.

Many off-the-shelf toys are not easy for children with diverse abilities to use, and specialized therapy toys are highly expensive. The UNMC Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI) is leading a campaign this Giving Tuesday to secure funds so it can adapt 50 toys for use by its patients during therapy. Give now.

 Nebraska Medicine

Nebraska Medicine is a leading health care network and the clinical partner of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It’s committed to an outstanding patient experience, which includes critical basic needs for patients and their families while they’re guests at the medical center. It also means providing support for technology, education and activities that enhance every patient’s experience. Consider a gift to support the Nebraska Medicine Patient and Family Experience Fund to help ensure the unique needs of patients and their families are met. Give now.
