Woody and Buzz are back and they are asking for your help. Toys for Tots, in collaboration with the release of “Toy Story 3,” is kicking off an unprecedented summer toy drive. Throughout the month of June in 24 cities throughout the United States, the public will be asked to honor their cherished memories of childhood play by donating a new unwrapped toy during “Toy Story 3” promotional events. The mission is to surpass the 16.3 million toys, books and other gifts raised in 2009 that fulfilled the holiday dreams of 7.4 million children in more than 690 communities nationwide.
“We are thrilled to be working with Disney Pixar’s ‘Toy Story 3’ on this special summer toy raising event,” said Bill Grein, vice president, marketing and development for The Marines Toys for Tots Foundation. “We are so proud of the fact that the gifts raised in each of the 24 cities will remain in those specific cities and will eventually be distributed to less fortunate children in those communities. It is truly a program where anyone who donates a toy is really donating a smile to a child in their own hometown.”
• Participating cities include Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Honolulu, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis and Washington, DC.
• Look for the Official Toys for Tots “Toy Story 3” donation boxes displayed at each event.
• Any new and unwrapped toy, book or gift will gratefully be accepted.
• We encourage donations for children of all ages, but please especially consider pre-teen and teenagers.
