Festival of Stars Toy and Donation Drive is Arkansas Children's (AC) largest statewide event. Volunteers, team members and community organizations come together at Arkansas Children’s Hospital and Arkansas Children’s Northwest to deliver joy to patients during the holidays.
“Santa knew I was in the hospital this year and found me!”
