St. Joseph’s Hospital-South Thanks The Community For Their Support
St. Joseph’s Hospital-South thanks the community for its support in the Christmas in July toy drive for hospitalized children. The actual title of the event was ‘Christmas in July at the South Pole,’ with a nod to the event at St. Joseph’s Hospital-‘South.’
The hospital received about $8,500 in donated toys and more than $10,000 in monetary donations. 2024 was the second year of the summer event at the Riverview hospital, and this year’s numbers almost doubled 2023’s numbers of about $10,000 combined in toys and donations.
Christmas in July is a program of St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation that also benefits St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Tampa. This was the 16th year of the event at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. Between both places in 2024, donations totaled about $60,000 in toys and $200,000 in money.
St. Joseph’s Hospital-South’s all-digital, state-of-the-art facility is located at 6901 Simmons Loop in Riverview. For more information, visit www.stjosephssouth.org.
