Help the Royal Resorts Foundation and Royal Resorts team members spread some happiness this festive season. We are joining forces with the Ciudad de la Alegria community center to collect toys and sandals for children in need. They will be distributed as part of an event on January 6, Día de Los Reyes Magos, in which a caravan of volunteers will visit remote Mayan communities with gifts, food parcels, rosca de reyes or kings cake, piñatas and more for Los Reyes Magos parties. January 6 is the day that children traditionally receive gifts in Mexico and with your generosity we can bring a smile to their faces.
If you are currently staying at Royal Resorts or will be traveling to Cancun over the Christmas holidays you can help by giving a toy.
What can you donate?
• Dolls (Barbie-type and baby dolls)
• Superhero figures
• Cars

Many children living in remote Mayan communities go to school barefoot, so we are also collecting new sandals for boys and girls.
Toy collection boxes in the resort lobbies
Look for the decorated gift box in the lobby and leave your toys there. You can also leave them with the Duty Manager at theFront Desk.The final day for giving toys is December 27, 2024.
Where to buy toys
All the big supermarkets and chain stores in Downtown Cancun and Playa del Carmen have even larger toy departments for the season if you are not sure where to buy gifts. If you prefer to contribute to the Toy Drive by donating so that the Foundation can buy toys on your behalf, please contact the Duty Manager at the Front Desk.
If you are not traveling to Cancun this season and would like to help, the Royal Resorts Foundation accepts donations of educational material, new toys and clothing for children and adults in good condition all year round. You can also donate online to support its education, health, community and conservation causes.
