ASDA and USSDA Double Toy Donations
ASDA continued their tradition of making the holidays more joyful for Boston children in need by once again hosting their toy drive prior to Intersession. Assisting ASDA with the drive this year were students from the GSDM chapter of USSDA.
The groups collected 119 new, unwrapped toys, as well as $50, which they donated to the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots initiative. This is more than double the amount of donations that were collected last year.
On December 16, a group of ASDA and USSDA members brought the donations to a local collection site where they were happily received by members of the U.S. Marine Corps. The toys were then distributed throughout Boston during the holiday season.
“I am very proud of the students who organized this year’s toy drive,” said Dean Jeffrey W. Hutter. “Their hard work and generosity were rewarded with a record number of donations, and I know they made many local children happy this holiday season.”
