Support Operation Santa at the Muma Children's Hospital!

There’s no place like home for the holidays. However, for the young patients at the Muma Children’s Hospital at TGH, being home just isn’t an option. This year, you can help support pediatric patients like April through the 2025 Operation Santa campaign.

“Before leukemia, I was a young entrepreneur and Jiujitsu student who skipped a belt from passion alone. Though the diagnosis changed everything, the incredible team at Muma Children’s Hospital helped me stay connected to life’s joys—and now I proudly share my story to support cancer awareness. For Christmas this year, my friends at Muma Children’s Hospital have asked Santa for a fully stocked Child Life activity room! Your donation will help provide funding for games, activities, toys and more, which helps us to forget about our illnesses and just be kids.” - April  

Through the 2025 Operation Santa Campaign, every dollar raised will support the Child Life Activity Fund. Your generosity will make it possible to purchase therapeutic play toys, cutting-edge technology, art supplies, and positive distraction tools that bring joy and a sense of normalcy back into their lives. 

Thanks to the generosity of matching donor Tristan Wirfs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Team Captain, your gift will be MATCHED DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR up to $25,000! 

"As a father, the thought of any child spending the holidays in the hospital is hard to comprehend. I’m honored to sponsor Operation Santa at Muma Children’s Hospital to ensure these young patients, their families, and the hospital staff know that we are 100% behind them.” - Tristan Wirfs

Together, we can raise an additional $25,000 from our TGH community to fully stock the Child Life Activity Room.  

Your gift will bring warmth and cheer to the lives of children who need it most. Thank you for helping make this holiday season brighter for the patients at Muma Children’s Hospital.
