RAMCON Collects Toys For Tots

Tis the season for giving! While the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is rapidly approaching, it is important that we remember those who are less fortunate then us. Once again this year, RAMCON management and staff are happy to give back. RAMCON will take part in the annual Toys for Tots Program by collecting new and unwrapped toys and books.

On Christmas morning, millions of children will wake up across the nation excited to see what Santa has brought for them. But the saddening truth is that many children will wake up on Christmas morning and their wishes will not be met. Help us change Christmas morning back into the whimsical haze of happiness and joy we remember. Together, through Toys for Tots, we can put a smile on a child’s face.

“Toys for Tots began back in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angels collected and distributes in excess of 5,000 toys to struggling children. In fact, the idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. In the fall of 1947, Diane crafted a homemade doll and asked Bill to deliver the doll to a local organization to donate at Christmas. To Bill’s surprise, no such agency existed, so Bill and Diane created one. In 1948 the program expanded it into a nationwide campaign. Now, some 65 years later, the initial objective and mission of the program remains.”

Join RAMCON in collecting new and unwrapped toys by dropping them off at our main facility in Tampa – 5902 Breckenridge Pkwy. Tampa, FL 33610 – or give us a call and we’ll pick them up.
For each toy donated, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a complimentary one year Bronze Star Preventative Maintenance package. For more information on Toys For Tots, please visit www.ToysForTots.org.
