The Toys for Tots campaign helps several children in Southeast Minnesota have a brighter and more joyful Christmas. Toys for Tots supports 29 local agencies in the eight counties of Southeast Minnesota, which served 8,494 local children last year.
The Toys for Tots Foundation was established by the Marine Corps in 1991. The main purpose of this event is to help bring the joy of Christmas to local, less fortunate children.
American Waterworks is a proud sponsor for this year's Toys for Tots drive. We will be teaming up with Laser 101.7 and Fox Country 102.5 to help promote the importance of this campaign. "Since December of 2012, we have been a sponsor for Toys for Tots," says American Waterworks president, Burt Weekes. "We like being part of it because we give back to the community and provide love and gifts for children. Every child deserves to open a gift on Christmas." Monday, November 15th, and Monday, November 29th, we'll be doing a live broadcast at Fleet Farm in Rochester, MN from 4 pm to 6 pm. We'll be matching $2,000 in donations this year - $1,000 at each event.
Stop by Fleet Farm on the 15th and 29th between 4 pm and 6 pm and bring in some new, unwrapped toys to support this remarkable event for children. Thank you for giving back, and we hope to see you there!
