Official 2027 Toy Drive T-Shirt
(Art by Eleanor, Age 9)
Meet Sparkles, the sharing, caring pup, created by Eleanor, age 9, and now the official 2026 Western Mass Toy Drive Mascot!
We kept Eleanor's original drawing exactly as she imagined it and elevated it into a vivid, wearable design that pops on tees, totes, mugs, and hoodies. It’s kid magic turned into mission fuel.
A portion of every purchase helps us buy more toys for foster kids & children in need.
This isn’t just merch.
It’s kids helping kids.
It’s kindness you can wear.
And it’s the heart of this year’s Toy Drive.
Grab yours, support the mission, and help us spread Delaney’s joy across Western Mass.
