2nd Annual St. Barnabas Burn Center Toy Drive ends April 30

PERTH AMBOY – In honor of Battalion Chief Timothy Simon, Perth Amboy Fire Department, please DONATE any NEW Toys, Games, Stuffed Animals, Books, Arts & Crafts Supplies, or Monetary Donations made payable to the St. Barnabas Burn Foundation.

On March 26, 2013, Battalion Chief Timothy Simon sustained life threatening injuries that landed him in the Burn Unit ICU. He was surrounded by patients, mostly children (from infants/toddlers to teenagers) who were in need of happy distractions. During the winter season, the Burn Unit sees the most cases and the toys run dry. Last year was an amazing turnout for our first toy drive! Let’s make this year a great success!

Please drop off your Donations to the Perth Amboy Fire Department or the Police Department located on New Brunswick Avenue, between April 1st and April 30, 2014.

Thank you for your Donations! Battalion Chief Simon and his family personally saw the joy brought to the children’s faces and the staff when the toys were delivered! An act of kindness can change a person’s life forever. Let’s pay it forward!

Toys may also be delivered to the St. Barnabas Medical Center, Burn Center Foundation, in Honor of BC Timothy Simon, 94 Old Short Hills Road, Livingston, NJ 07039 (973) 322-5000.
