Stanbridge College Christmas Toy Drive Collects Christmas Gifts for Toys for Tots
Stanbridge College donated Christmas toys for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to benefit Orange County children in need.
Irvine, CA, December 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Stanbridge College recently partnered with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation for a Christmas Toy Drive. Students, staff and faculty donated toys, games and stuffed animals to local Orange County children in need. Donations included two new Raskullz bikes, a telescope, a tea set, dolls, action figures, teddy bears, Zhu Zhu pets, Crayola activity sets and more.
According to Karen Myhra, Stanbridge College staff member, “Toys for Tots is a wonderful program. I donated this year because I wanted the opportunity to show my children how to pay it forward to those in need. They helped me pick out our donations and understood that by donating to Toys for Tots they are sharing Christmas spirit with other children who are less fortunate.”
Stanbridge College is a consistent supporter of the US Military, honoring its students, staff and faculty who served and are currently serving. Last fall, Stanbridge College worked with Veterans First to help homeless veterans in the 1st Annual Orange County Stand Down shelter and medical services camp. In November, Stanbridge College REACH worked to support US Marines by partnering with Words of Comfort, Hope and Promise to send Christmas Care Packages to over 100 Marines currently serving overseas in Afghanistan and other areas.
The Christmas Toy Drive for Toys for Tots is part of Stanbridge College’s REACH Beyond the Classroom Service Learning initiative. REACH encourages students to give back to their local and global communities while learning important leadership skills within civic engagement.
