The department of radiology at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital in Fairbanks, Alaska, provided toys for 80 children over the holiday season.

Continuing a tradition first started four years ago, the department delivered the toys to children from the city’s Boys & Girls Club chapter, according to a report from the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. Toys were collected for children ages 7-10, 11-14 and 15-18.

“All of our kids were able to get presents,” said Deison Rios, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Fairbanks. “It has really become something our kids look forward to.”
