We are occasionally able to grant such requests. Please contact us about this.

How can our local hospital or pediatric hospice get Big Fun Boxes?

First, contact us to make sure we know about your hospital, hospice or specialty hospital; someone from your hospital might have already added it to our waiting list. Second, your hospital could become a FunDonor sponsor for its own Big Fun Boxes. In either case, please call or email us.

Is it possible to give every pediatric patient a Big Fun Box?

With enough funding, that’d be possible and it would be our pleasure. Brief hospitalizations can be scary and stressful, too.

Can I donate items for The Big Fun Box?

To help maintain the integrity of The Big Fun Box and to satisfy our copyright and trademark requirements, we do not accept a donated item unless it is the exact or an appropriate variation of an item already in The Big Fun Box. For instance, if you wanted to donate a different brand of colored pencils of the same quality, or decks of playing cards with jungle animals on them, we’d certainly like for you to contact us!

As is the case for any business, we have needs for equipment, automobiles, office supplies, etc. Please contact us if you have such a donation in mind.

Can you send everything to make Big Fun Boxes to us and let a group of us stuff 100 of them and make the deliveries to hospitals in our city?

We appreciate your enthusiasm, but we oversee all Big Fun Box “stuffing.”

How did you decide what goes into a Big Fun Box?

We started out by writing down the rules for the “HeadGames” we’d been playing for years. Then we added the other items based on other things we did to help make time go by faster.

I would like to become a FunDonor and sponsor Big Fun Boxes for children with a certain disease or injury. Can I specify that with my donation?

With a FunDonor sponsorship of 1,000 or more Big Fun Boxes, you certainly may.
