Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive 2022


CINCINNATI (Nov. 12, 2022) –– The fourth annual Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive (JGMTD) officially commenced today in support of patients at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) during the holiday season.

After raising a record $3,807 in 2021, the JGMTD will once again fundraise exclusively online in 2022 to benefit CCHMC’s Holiday Bundle campaign.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center Holiday Bundle Campaign


Holiday bundles are age-specific packages gift-wrapped by CCHMC staff and directly distributed to child patients in December. The bundles are filled with books, toys, games and activities carefully selected to inspire kids of all ages to play and create.

Based on last year’s donation figure, the JGMTD has set an aggressive $4,000 fundraising goal for 2022. The JGMTD is calling on everyone to bring joy to sick kids this holiday season by contributing to this year’s campaign. While each holiday bundle costs $50 — gifts of any size make an impact.

Donations to the JGMTD can be made at bit.ly/JacksonGeiserToyDrive22. To ensure bundles are delivered to patients by Christmas, please place your donation by Dec. 18.

About the Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive
The Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive (JGMTD) was established in 2019 by Jeff and Nikki Geiser in memory of their son Jackson, who passed away in 2018 after one month of age due to complications arising from chromosome disorder trisomy 13. Since JGMTD’s establishment, more than $6,400 in donations to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center’s (CCHMC) holiday toy campaigns have been raised. In 2019, the JGMTD collected and donated 100 gifts totaling $1,500 in value. When online donations were exclusively accepted by CCHMC in 2020 and 2021, the JGMTD raised $1,180 and $3,807, respectively. To donate to the 2022 JGMTD, visit bit.ly/JacksonGeiserToyDrive22.

The second annual Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive is underway but looks slightly different from last year.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is not accepting in-person donations this year due to COVID-19. So, this year, the Jackson Geiser Memorial Toy Drive is raising money directly for the Cincy Children’s Holiday Bundles Campaign.
