Adopt-a-Playroom
Join the All Star Program and bring comfort and smiles to our patients.
Adopting a playroom each quarter is one of the most meaningful ways your school or organization supports Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital patients directly — a hands-on commitment we highly encourage every All Star to build into its yearly rotation.
Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital has playrooms on floors three through eight. Each quarter, All Star students visit to clean out old toys and set up new donated toys, giving patients a refreshed space to play.
Donation Guidelines: Toys must be strictly larger, wipeable items — everything plastic (no fabric or plush). Cars, trucks, kitchen/food play items, and action figures are needed most. Monetary donations toward playroom supplies are also welcome.
Recognition Display: The playroom will display a certificate recognizing your school or organization, showcasing your contribution throughout your recognition period.
Quarterly Room Sign-Up:
We recommend every school or organization adopt a playroom each quarter — October, January, and April — as an ongoing commitment.
First, join the All Star Program by submitting the official Interest Form below. Then, contact us to get assigned a floor.
Setup and restocking visits can be scheduled after school during the week or on weekends, and every donation is marked “Graciously donated by [School/Organization Name]” with the All Star logo.

There’s more than one way to join the team:
Start a Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital All Star Club
Create a new, student-led club at your school (in accordance with school bylaws) dedicated to supporting Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital through meaningful service projects.
Partner Through an Existing Club
Work through a service-focused organization like NHS, HOSA, Key Club, Student Government, or another leadership group to complete impactful projects that benefit patients and families.
No matter the path, your school or organization is committing to leadership, service, and real community impact!
What's Required vs. Optional
Required: designating a school or organization point of contact so we can coordinate activities and stay connected throughout the year.
Optional: everything else! We welcome participation at any level, so we’ll work with you to find the mix of fundraisers, donations, and community events that fits best.
