8-year-old Rosie Colicci, of Palatine, is living with in an inoperable brain tumor. Rosie has Neurofibromatosis, and has received almost 150 doses of chemotherapy since she was just a toddler.

She achieves this through Rosie’s Toy Box only NEW items for these special, often immune compromised kids, including books for all ages birth to 21, small craft kits, toys and popular board games. Teen items are especially needed.

So open up your heart- bring by a new toy, come out to meet Rosie and grab a bite to eat Saturday, Sept. 22 between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.
