DERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A special delivery for some kids at Penn State Children's Hospital.

As part of a program called "Gabe's Duck Chemo," Duck Donuts team members delivered some goodies to patients on Thursday.  They got a chemo duck for medical play therapy, an activity book and a DVD about the program, which educates families and children living with cancer.

"It helps them know the outside world is still thinking of them and gives them kind of a break and the chance to get out of their room if they`re able to come out and maybe interact with some other patients," said Sarah Miller, a child life support associate.

Duck Donuts has  helped fund the program by selling paper ribbon icons and pediatric cancer awareness rubber ducks.
