GSDM Community Spreads Holiday Cheer through Toys for Tots Donations

The American Student Dental Association (ASDA) chapter at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) continued their tradition of making the holidays more joyful for Boston children in need again this year.

BU ASDA Community Outreach Chair, Courtney Brady DMD 11, coordinated the chapter’s annual Toys for Tots drive this December. A wide variety of donations, ranging from snow sleds and dolls to toy cell phones, piled up in the Dean’s Office. On December 23, a group of ASDA members brought the donations to the local collection site in South Boston where members of the U.S. Marine Corps were happy to help unload everything. The GSDM community donated more than two large boxes of toys for local children newborn to age 13. These toys were distributed by the Marine Corps Reserve volunteers throughout Boston during the holiday season.

“BU ASDA is proud to work with the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots on an annual basis," said BU ASDA member Megan Ryan DMD 10. "We would like to thank everyone for their involvement and donations.”
