Toys For Tots - Annual Benicia Drive

Most everyone has heard of Toys For Tots! This program has been around since the first campaign began in Los Angeles in 1947 by the United States Marine Corp. TOYS FOR TOTS is celebrating their 60th year anniversary this year. 1947 - 2007 Their anniversary celebration video/song is inspirational, check it out.

The Primary Goal of Toys For Tots remains to be delivering a message of hope through a shiny new toy at Christimas to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.

The U.S. Marine Toys For Tots Foundation began in 1991 and has been supporting Toys For Tots in many ways. They provide administrative, advisory, financial, logistic and promotional support of local campaigns to raise funds to provide toys to deserving children.

Locally here in Solano County, we have collection boxes at our Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific offices in both the Benicia, 900 First Street, and Vallejo, 2581 Springs Road, locations. We enjoy supporting this worthy cause and hope you will help us in this venture. Please feel free to come and donate Toys For Tots up until December 16th, 2007 at either of our collection bins. Thank you for your support!

While you're at it please go to Let's Say Thanks, another great link to support all of our servicemen and women for their gifts to us. I did a blog on this awhile back. It's a simple way to send a personal card to our soldiers with a click of your mouse.
