The anonymous person or persons who cooked & sold breakfast to their employees & then used that money to purchase toys to donate

THANK YOU to Russ Dunford & his daughter Annie for the very generous donation from "Just a Box"

THANK YOU to Bruce Foley for the donation of the beanie babies in memory of his mother, Dr. June Foley.

THANK YOU Penske for the use of the cargo van that allowed us to deliver all 1,600 toys to the hospital with ease.

THANK YOU to our friends, family & neighbors who dropped toys off on our porch &/or mailed them from out of state.

THANK YOU to everyone who dropped off toys at the participating businesses, you can be sure each & every item will bring many smiles.

I'd also like to say a THANK YOU to the person that handmade the "CHAMPS" journals, those were beautiful & I know time consuming to make. The love you put into that project brought me to tears as I was counting & tagging items & I know they'll be treasured items for the kids.

Last but NEVER least, THANK YOU to my wonderful hubby, Alex, for being so supportive & patient while the house & garage were full of box after box of toys & stuffed animals. And THANK YOU for running around town picking up those boxes & boxes of toys before & after work.
I LOVE YOU!!

I hope you all enjoyed this as much as we did!! We're already looking forward to making this an annual drive, so we'll be in touch! :)
