2022 Marks the 75th Anniversary of Toys for Tots Program

For nearly two decades Gavel International has supported the Toys for Tots Foundation in its mission to ensure that children living in poverty experience the delight of Christmas.  By holding raffles throughout the year, 100% of the funds Gavel raises are used for the purchase of toys and donated to Toys for Tots.

With over $7,000 in generous donations received, 2022 has been a great year for the Gavel Gives raffle initiative.  As a result, we loaded thirteen shopping carts with toys and it took five vehicles to transport them!  We even had to call the Marines for additional toy donation boxes.

Total gifts filled thirteen Toys for Tots donation boxes and included seven bikes!

We would like to say thank you to everyone who graciously gave their time, and resources, and made financial contributions to assist Toys for Tots.  It’s even more special this year since it marks the 75^th anniversary of the Toys for Tots Foundation.  Through the gift of toys, all of us are able to bring the joy of Christmas spreading hope (and light) to America’s less fortunate children.
