Zach's Toy Chest

Zach's Toy Chest Zach’s Toy Chest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to benefit children of all ages receiving care at local NC hospitals.

We provide joy and a sense of normalcy to pediatric cancer patients with new toys year-round. We started Zach's Toy Chest after our oldest son, Zach, went through treatment for stage 3, Neuroblastoma in 2008. He was 9 months old when diagnosed and is now a healthy and thriving teenager who's currently 16 years cancer-free. Because we understand exactly what kids of all ages and families are going

through when in treatment and after the main part is over, but still must go for follow-up cancer checks, we have a unique take on how we help. ZTC is the only non-profit in the Southeast US that collects and delivers new toys and other essentials to hospitals and clinics year-round. We have created a few wish lists to make it easy to shop for what the hospitals and kids need now. Please see below for the Amazon wish lists:

On May 22, 2008, we celebrated something huge - Zachary’s last chemo treatment. 🎗️

Looking back at this photo brings back so many memories. The hospital rooms, the fear, the exhaustion, the hope…and the overwhelming feeling of finally reaching this day. At just a little guy, Zachary had already faced more than most ever should.

At the time, we had no idea this journey would one day inspire Zach’s Toy Chest - an organization dedicated to bringing joy, comfort, and moments of normalcy to children facing cancer treatment across North Carolina.

Every toy delivered, every Courage Card shared, and every smile created traces back to moments like this one.

Wrapping up his chemotherapy that day was life changing. And today, we continue fighting cancer one toy at a time because of Zach’s story. 🧸✨

What a day. ⛳🧸🎗️

This year’s Zach’s Toy Chest Golf Classic officially SOLD OUT at 30 teams - making it our biggest tournament ever!

We were incredibly lucky with beautiful weather, amazing volunteers, generous sponsors, and an incredible group of golfers who came together to support the children and families we serve.

One of the highlights of the day was auctioning off a highly sought-after bottle of Pappy Van Winkle, which helped us raise even more money for local children undergoing cancer treatment. 🥃

From the early morning setup crews to every player on the course, every sponsor, donor, volunteer, raffle participant, and supporter - THANK YOU.

Because of this amazing community, Zach’s Toy Chest can continue providing toys, games, comfort items, and moments of joy to children all year long. 🧸🎗️

This tournament was about so much more than golf. It was about showing kids and families facing cancer that they have an entire community behind them.

We are beyond grateful for everyone who helped make this our best tournament yet - and we’re already excited for next year.
