Description:

RE/MAX Southeast is proud to announce that we are, once again, an official USMC Toys for Tots drop point this year.

The United States Marines and the Toys for Tots program needs NEW, UNWRAPPED toys. Any kind, any shape: stuffed animals, matchbox cars, action figures, sports equipment (like balls etc), board games, toy trucks, etc. Larger toys like bicycles are also accepted, as long as they are new. Anything in the toy section of any department store is appropriate. The targeted age range is infant thru 12 years old and toys for both boys and girls are needed.The Toys for Tots program also accepts monetary donations and is 100% tax deductible for you as the foundation is an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public charity.

The toys and monetary donations are collected and distributed by the Marines to under-privileged kids in Colorado. Believe it or not, for a lot of kids, this is the ONLY present they will get for Christmas. All of the toys collected here will be distributed locally as well as any monetary donations and all funds will be spent this year.

Most of us have experienced the wonder of waking up on Christmas morning and the excitement of running to the Christmas tree to see what Santa has left. By donating to the Toys for Tots program, you are sharing that feeling with kids who would otherwise never know that feeling.

The donation box is located in the RE/MAX Southeast lobby located at 3600 S. Yosemite, suite 150. RE/MAX Southeast front desk is also accepting monetary donations in the form of checks and will forward them to the local coordinator. Please make checks payable to "Toys for Tots"

You can also donate to the national Toys for Tots fund with any credit card and even PayPal through the Toys for Tots website www.toysfortots.org

REMEMBER, THE TOYS MUST BE BRAND NEW!
