Last minute Holiday Shopping -- Gifts that do Good

Inspirational children's books, cards, gift bags and toys help fund children's medical grants and can arrive by Christmas

Put your last-minute holiday shopping to good use and help improve the quality of life of another child, while also still making sure your gift arrives in time for Christmas.

Available now, inspirational children's books and toys from the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF) can be easily ordered on Amazon and two-day Prime will have them arriving by Christmas Eve. Not only are these great gifts, the proceeds from sales of these items will fund child medical grants to help alleviate some of the burden placed on parents by medical expenses.
And in the spirit of giving back, you also get the added bonus of peace of mind – and who can't use that this time of year -- knowing 100 percent of the proceeds of these gifts go to fund medical grants for children in Florida and throughout the U.S.
