Inspiring Our Community To Uplift Children On Their Toughest Days
Kelly’s Kidz partners with local pediatric hospitals in Philadelphia and South Jersey to provide toys, games, and comfort items such as pajamas and socks to children during their hospital stay. Together, we aim to lift spirits and brighten days—one toy at a time.
From One Personal Experience to a Bigger Mission
Kelly’s Kidz was founded by Bob Kelly after a deeply personal experience—when his son Austin was hospitalized at just 8 months old. During that difficult time, Bob made a promise: if he could bring his son home, he would find a way to help other children going through similar struggles.
That promise became a mission.
What began with funding a hospital radio studio and sensory art center at Nemours Children’s Hospital has grown into a year-round effort supporting pediatric patients across the region. A yearly glance at Kelly’s Kidz consists of seasonal toy drives and pajama collections, many of which culminate in joyful, festive events—especially the annual December holiday celebration at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
Over the years, Kelly’s Kidz has delivered nearly 20,000 toys, along with coats, socks, and pajamas —because kids need comfort and care all year long. With your support, we’re able to lift spirits throughout the year and make some of the most difficult days for patients and their families a little brighter.
Bringing Comfort, Joy, and Hope
At Kelly’s Kidz, we’re dedicated to brightening the lives of children in pediatric hospitals. Through toy drives, cozy pajama donations, and our many events, we are able to deliver smiles when they’re needed most. Thanks to the kindness of our community, generous donors, and dedicated volunteers, Kelly’s Kidz has been able to reach thousands of children in our area. Whether it’s a stuffed animal to cuddle during a difficult procedure or a festive event to break up the routine of hospital life, every contribution makes a meaningful impact. What began as a single promise has blossomed into a year-round mission of compassion, all made possible by the generosity of people like you.
