A group of Stony Brook University student athletes, dance team members and cheerleaders  set out to bring joy to the patients being treated in the Pediatric Wing of the Stony Brook University Cancer Center.

They went on a holiday season mission to “stuff” a bus from Athletics with toys of all kinds and deliver the donated items directly to the kids.

Toy donations came in from Stony Brook faculty and staff throughout the campus.

A few days before Christmas they delivered more than 250 toys and gifts, such as dolls, board games, coloring sets, and footballs.  The pediatric patients, along with their siblings, beamed with delight when the unexpected delivery came. Wolfie was on hand to distribute the toys.

The moment was a welcome break from studies and training for the students, as they took in the joy of the children when placing the gifts under the Christmas tree in the playroom.
