75: Toys For Tots

From Toys For Tots’ Website:

“75th Anniversary of Marine Toys for Tots Program”

The 2022 holiday season marks the 75th anniversary of the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program! Please join us in a special Nationwide celebration of this significant milestone.

For over seven decades, the Program has evolved and grown exponentially having delivered hope and the magic of Christmas to over 281 million less fortunate children. Now, in our 75th year, the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program also provides year-round support to families experiencing challenges and exceptional circumstances, thus helping to fulfill the hopes and dreams of millions of families and children in need across our great Nation.

This anniversary year will provide opportunities to highlight the Marine Corps Reserve and the Toys for Tots Program on a National level with opportunities to share our rich history, heritage, and the tremendous community support we receive each and every year. We are proud to have this occasion commemorated by famous American Pop Artist Charles Fazzino. The net proceeds from the sales of his official anniversary poster shown below will go directly towards our mission.

Events and engagements across the Nation will energize the American public and focus support to:

Highlight our extraordinary Reserve Marines, past and present

Highlight the impact that the Toys for Tots Program offers communities Nationwide

Highlight and thank community leaders, Corporate Sponsors, organizations, and volunteers

Most importantly, support children in need of every family seeking holiday help

Please join us in celebrating and recognizing the extraordinary efforts of the Reserve Marines and countless volunteers who have selflessly supported over 281 million children in need. We ask you, our faithful supporters, to be in our ranks as communities across the Nation come together in support of a common cause of helping children in need through the Marine Toys for Tots Program. We are 75 years strong!
