This year marks the beginning of our annual charity fundraising event with the US Marines. Helping underprivileged children to have a brighter future.

The American Association is joining forces with the Marines to host a Charitable and festive family event benefiting the Toy for Tots program, which distributes toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in Singapore and Asia.

Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks and his wife Diane realized that there was no organization for giving toys to underprivileged children. That Year, Major Bill Hendricks, USCR and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The project was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted Toys for Tots in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign. Over the years, US Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program have distributed over 400 million toys to more than 188 million disadvantaged children around the world.

This year Toys for Tots will be held at the Mandarin Orchard on Saturday, December 3rd, 2012. So come and join us for an afternoon of holiday festivities and much more.
