About Us
Founded in 2022, the Carlton Foundation for Kids provides toys, games, clothing, room decorations and life-saving equipment to help pediatric patients at Wolfson Children's Hospital at Baptist Clay.
Our goal is to provide the healing power of play to children with medical needs. We transform medical environments into kid-friendly spaces to help pediatric patients thrive.
We care for kids.

The Power of Play
Did you know that play is the most effective method for reducing stress for kids?
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, research has provided evidence of the critical importance of play in the lives of children.

Shoot
We collect toys in December each year to be sure that Northeast Florida hospitals have toys for children that are hospitalized during the holidays. Businesses in Clay, Duval and St. Johns Counties put Christmas collection boxes in their lobbies and collect toys from their employees and their customers. This community-wide effort has brought in a 200% increase year over year since we began collecting toys in 2018.
Our Carlton Classic Golf Tournament does not disappoint! With two tournaments under our belts, we are confident you will have a great time and walk away feeling good about being a part of how we Care for Kids.
​
We expect this year's event to be bigger and better with more prizes and opportunities to directly help hospitalized children in our area.
This year we will help take the anxiety
out of hospital visits for over
9,000 children in Clay County.
