2nd Annual Heart Birthday Book Drive is open Feb 1-14

Feb 1, 2026

Our second annual book drive is open! This virtual book drive is hosted on an Amazon gift registry. Your generosity will be hand-delivered to the Children’s Hospital of Colorado located in Aurora, CO (the Denver metro area).

And many more to consider choosing to cheer up a child’s day!

The Leanna family (led by Colleen’s aunt Bridgett and cousin Sydney) organized this book drive to celebrate Colleen’s heart birthdays. The above QR code and this link opens our Amazon wishlist and is open from Feb 1 to Feb 14.

Your generous book purchase choices will be enjoyed by children who need a break from their medical visits. Have fun choosing books that you’ve enjoyed and thank you from all of us at Colleen Cares Organization.

Colleen had two heart birthdays — her first on Jan 20 at age 3 and Jan 17 her second at age 20. Colleen and the Gleason family were always grateful for the donors and their families for their extraordinary decision to give the gift of life.

We know from experience how precious sharing stories can be and the warm memories they create.
