Toy Drive for Carilion Children's on March 28
Published on March 13, 2025 under SPHL (SPHL)
Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs News Release
Last year's shortage of donations left Carilion Children's in need, and now is our chance to step up and make a difference! The Rail Yard Dawgs are partnering with Carilion Children's to bring joy to young patients through a toy donation drive at Baseball Night, featuring the Salem Red Sox, on Friday, March 28. Our media partner for Baseball Night is 93.5/102.7 WJJS.
For children facing hospital stays, the experience can be overwhelming. That's where Carilion Clinic's child life specialists come in-using donated games, toys, and activities to provide comfort, distraction, and a sense of normalcy during challenging times. Every donation, big or small, helps brighten a child's day and brings a smile when it's needed most. Donations will be collected at each entry gate at the game.
Toy Requirements:
New, unwrapped and latex-free
No items with religious or violent messages

As a thank you for your donation, please stop by the Carilion Children's table, located outside of Gate 10, at the game on March 28 to get your picture with Diesel, Daisy & Mugsy from the Salem Red Sox before puck drop!
