Minnesota Gamers' has partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve
Toys for Tots program as the 2007 charity partner during our annual
convention.
At the Minnesota Gamers' Convention you will find a drop box for new
unwrapped children's toys and a cash donation box; more events will
be announced later. All of the toys collected and the donated money
will be presented to the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
program shortly after MGCON.
About the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program:
MISSION: The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November
and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts
to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
GOAL: The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a
shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters
that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive,
patriotic citizens and community leaders.
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of Toys for Tots are to help needy
children throughout the United States experience the joy of
Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our
nation's most valuable natural resources - our children; to unite all
members of local communities in a common cause for three months each
year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and
to contribute to better communities in the future.
ACTIVITIES: The principal Toys for Tots activities which take place
each year are the collection and distribution of toys in the
communities in which a Marine Corps Reserve Unit is located and in
communities without a Reserve Unit that has a Marine Corps League
Detachment or group of men and women, generally veteran Marines,
authorized by Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to conduct a local Toys
for Tots campaign. Local Toys for Tots Campaign Coordinators conduct
an array of activities throughout the year, which include golf
tournaments, foot races, bicycle races and other purely voluntary
events designed to increase interest in Toys for Tots, and
concurrently generate toy and monetary donations.
For more information on the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
program please visit their web-site at

I look forward to seeing all of you at this year's convention.
