How You Can Help

Card stock, markers, stickers, postage, brand new toys, coloring books, stuffed animals and games all get used. Gas, grocery and restaurant gift cards go straight to families.

Most of our supplies already arrive this way, through the Perrysburg Buy Nothing group on Facebook and our Amazon Wishlist. When we post that we need something, it gets filled almost immediately.

Monthly Giving and Employer Matching

We are setting both up. If you want to give every month, or your employer matches donations, call (567) 331-2162 and we will set it up with you.

FAQs

Your Questions Answered

Answers to how a campaign works, who qualifies, and where your gift goes.
Who can receive a card campaign?

Children ages 3 to 17 in Northwest Ohio or Southeast Michigan who are facing a chronic or terminal illness, or going through major treatment. That includes cancer, sickle cell, children on a transplant list, and children recovering from serious accidents and multiple surgeries.

How many cards does a child actually get?

More than a thousand for most campaigns. Each child's flyer goes out to schools, churches and youth groups across the area, and classrooms make cards for about four weeks.

Does the family get anything besides cards?

Yes. Every family receives a $500 donation from us, along with gift cards for gas, groceries and restaurants, and brand new toys, books and games for the child. At Christmas, sponsors adopt the whole family and provide gifts for every child in the household.

How far do you travel?

About an hour to an hour and a half north and south of Toledo. We drive every delivery ourselves, which is what sets the boundary.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Yes. Operation Surprise Attack is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 87-3484307. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.

Can my school or church run a card drive?

Yes. Most of our cards come from schools, churches and youth organizations, and it is often the art teacher who runs it. Get in touch and we will send you the current campaign flyers.
