Donation Guidelines

Thank you so much for your interest in giving to MUSC Children’s Health! Donations for patients and general play programming are managed through the Child Life Department. We appreciate your help to make sure our patients and families have opportunities to play during their hospitalizations.

For questions, please email mishler@musc.edu or call 843-985-1613.

Guidelines

• Our patients range in age from newborn to teens.
• Please consider all ages when gifting.
• All items must be brand new, unwrapped, and in original packaging.
• We are unable to accept large stuffed animals, scooters, skateboards, any size bicycle, or oversized items.
• Items should be respectful of all religions, cultures, and belief systems.
• The MUSC wish lists and registries indicate most needed items at this time.

Donation Options

Option 1: Shop Online & Ship Items

For contactless and virtual donations, two online gift registries are available. We are asking donors to use these options to select and send your donation choices. This eliminates in-person shopping and the need to deliver directly to us. The wish lists & registries reflect our greatest needs and preferred gifts. The shipping address is on file with each registry. Please allow ample time for delivery.
