This past Christmas Morning a very special child in Colorado donated 50 American Girl dolls to other girls at the Children’s Hospital. Her story is simple, yet profound.  Last year six year old Tenley Hollman saved enough money - $100 dollars - to purchase her own doll, but a challenge from her Dad Ross encouraged her to donate it.  He promised to match her donation, and that first Christmas they raised enough money to donate 42 dolls.  This year - with help from other donations made to her website - she brought 50 dolls to Children’s Hospital.  Her motivation was straightforward.  In her young voice she explained,  "I want the other girls at Children's Hospital to be happy."  We just wanted to pass on her amazing story to you.
