Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening: Myrtle Beach Games of Conway

Locals may remember Colt Gallaway from the many news stories covering his extraordinary mission to bring joy to children who have to stay in the hospital.  Colt, who is a hemophiliac, knows that hospitals can be scary to kids when they are receiving treatments. Colt and his family have had to travel from their home in Surfside Beach to regional hospitals annually – for checkups, blood work, and tests – since he was very young. He remembers how a new toy helped make the visits better, and started collecting toys for other hospital-bound children in 2015 when he was ten years old.

 

Now a junior in high school, Colt is still working toward his ultimate goal of donating 10,000 toys before he graduates from high school. Collections in 2020 passed the 6,500 cumulative toy count, and Colt hopes that this year will be even more successful.  Donations of new toys (no wrapping paper needed) will be accepted at Myrtle Beach Games of Conway!
