A very long time ago MAREI started collecting Toys for Tots at our December meeting. The above photo was from 2021.
We are asking all of the real estate investor community to look back over the year and dig deep and do one of two things: Bring a new unwrapped toy to the MAREI Meeting on the 12th (or a big bag or two of toys) or if to make a donation to our online Toy Drive at MAREI.org/Toys which goes directly to Toys for Tots.
In 2020, when we could not actually meet live and bring in a big pile of toys we raised over $10,000 with our online toy drive. We are hoping that this year we can raise $10,000 online, plus collect bags and bags of toys.
Letter from Toys for Tots
We just received an email from Toys for Tots:
| Time is flying by, like it always does this time of year, so I wanted to make sure you saw this update from last week. Here’s a quick recap: Our 2023 SAVE CHRISTMAS Virtual Toy Drive is going strong. But that doesn’t mean our work is done! Christmas is only a month away now, and our Coordinators are telling me: “We still need more toys this year. So many parents are depending on us. Some of them have never been in this position before — where they can’t afford gifts — and they’re devastated at the thought of letting their kids down.” Kim, please join me, our Coordinators, and all our Marines and volunteers to SAVE CHRISTMAS in 2023 by making your gift today. Families across America need our help to experience some holiday joy! |
| Thank you so much, Ted |
