2013 Annual Doll Drive kicked off November 1, 2013. Our goal is to collect 200 Moxie/Bratz Hope Dolls this year. Last year was our first doll drive and we successfully collected 100 and distributed the dolls to Arkansas Children’s Hospital Oncology Department. This year we will distribute the dolls to the St. Jude’s Hospital & to the children on SLWA’s Doll Wish List for Girls & Boys with Alopecia under the age of 12.
