Thank You For Your Toy Donations!

For our final Anime Nite Orlando of 2018, we had an amazing toy drive. Thank you to all who came. It was one of our biggest hauls of the year and the next day, Kent delivered it all to Florida Hospital for Children.

There are over 200 hundred children at Florida Hospital for Children here in Orlando at a given time. Being there on Christmas is definitely not a great way to spend the holidays, and family bills on top of that, but with your donations, you helped many kids have a great Christmas. Shout outs to Nussie and the team for working with us and doing everything the do at the hospital.

We do a lot for the anime community here in Orlando, but it's stuff like this that is truly special. Thank you all for helping out and have a great rest of 2018.

 *** We need you guys to donate any toys, manga, books, blankets, stuffed animals, and any other kid-appropriate items that are in new condition or very close. ***
