Arizona
Last year donations were made to the Blind Children’s Foundation, XTRA Sports Radio 910 turkey drive, and various sports programs. We also helped Child Crisis Center, PHX Rescue Mission, St. Bernard of Clairvaux angel tree program for Troop 869, HomeBase Youth Services, Marines Toys for Tots, Bikes for Kids, AZ Association for Foster and Adoptive Families, MDA summer camp, Timber Trails camps and St. Vincent DePaul. And for 9 years the toys we have collected in Az have gone to the Crisis Nursery. We also helped over 3 dozen individual families (some who work at Avnet) in Phoenix, who experienced a variety of troubles and were not receiving assistance from any other group.
Chicago
Miracle Toys, Hinsdale Wellness House, Hesed House, Visitation Aid Society of Joliet, Home of the Sparrow and Casa Esperanza, Catholic Charities, Mercy Home for Boys and Girls, Cornerstone Community Church, Infant Welfare Society, Cannata Scholarship Fund, and helping shelters programs and St Joan of Arc School through Boy Scout Troup 99 for 18 years.
Beyond:
Our favorite pizza place, Rosati’s, sponsored a toy drive for an entire town in Mexico and we helped!
And we love helping teens experience events we took for granted…Prom night, Fans Across America events, the Harlem Globetrotters, D Backs, Cubs and Coyotes games to name a few.
We are also sending 20 children to school in Tanzania, Africa. It's extremely gratifying to now be able to add education to the list of things we are able to give kids thanks to you.
And the number of children and teens we are able to help just keeps growing.
Can I recommend someone?
Yes. We try to support the folks that need help and are not being supported by organized charities or support the suggestions of folks that support our program.
