Abacus is a Proud Partner of The JuCan Foundation’s Annual Toy Drive 

The JuCan Foundation is a family that assists children and families that are in treatment for cancer throughout the United States. Every year The JuCan Foundation has an annual Toy Drive to collect toys and donate them to MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital and families fighting cancer. Last year over 7,000 toys were delivered to the hospital. The JuCan Foundation partners with businesses across the Houston area to make this all possible.

Abacus is proud to make this their third year of being a partner and participating in the annual toy drive. As a partner, Abacus will be a drop off location for toy donations. Abacus will be sponsoring one family who has a 6-year-old suffering from Rhabdomyosarcoma. You can help us bring this humble family many smiles throughout the season of giving.

If you would like to donate anything, you can give toys or gifts to your service technician or stop by our office to personally hand anything in. Please make sure to donate all toys by the deadline of December 15th. Abacus will then deliver the toys to MD Anderson’s Children’s Cancer Hospital on December 19th.

Here is our address for the drop off location:

15851 Vickery Dr. Houston, TX, 77032
