COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Dozens of Valentine's boxes were delivered to the Children's Hospital at Memorial Hospital Center by T. Rowe Price employees and their families.

"Well this is our fourth year doing the Valentine's boxes," said Jessica Isensee of T.Rowe Price. "We donate them to both Children's Hospital here and Children's Hospital in Denver. So a lot of these boxes were made by kids and we just hope they bring a little bit of happiness to the kids here."

The idea was crafted to help lift the spirits of some of the young patients. Each box was decorated and filled with cards, stickers and well wishes.

Anna Weiss is a patient at Children's Hospital. She got to pick the first Valentine's box on Wednesday. A puppy box.

"Because I used to have two dogs and dogs are my favorite," said Anna. "And they're really playful and on Valentine's Day you can do a lot of things and be playful I guess."

The simple gesture meant a lot to the young girl.

"Since Valentine's Day to me is about love, I guess," she said. "They're sharing love to you."
