Children's Healthcare of Atlanta holds book and toy drive for MLK holiday

In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is sponsoring a book and toy drive, and employees are collecting new children's books and stuffed animals to be donated to Scottish Rite Hospital.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others'" was a quote made by Dr. King, and this drive is a display of our care and support," said LaTasha Hood - Adkins.

In 1998, Egleston Children's Health Care System and Scottish Rite Medical Center formed Children's Healthcare of Atlanta — one of the largest pediatric systems in the country. The new system had a single priority: children and families.

The donations will be made to children in the hospital on January 20, 2012. For more information, contact Ms. Adkins at 678-731-5650 or Jennifer Alicea at 678-731-5738.
