Toys for Tots 2022: Recap
Throughout this November and December, we invited our friends, families, and clients to join us in our annual Toys for Tots Donation Drive — and join us they did! Gifts came from near, hand-delivered to our office, as well as far, sent with love and care via mail, and together we worked hard to help ensure that no boy or girl, big or small, would go without a gift come Christmas night.
To celebrate the generosity of our community, we gussied up the office and welcomed everyone to attend our Donation Party on Tuesday, December 6th. Early arrivals were greeted with the sounds of the South Fayette Chamber Orchestra as they played a selection of holiday standards in the lobby of Manor Oak Two. Upstairs, they were then treated to a smorgasbord of savory snacks, sweet treats, wine, and a build-your-own hot cocoa bar with plenty of marshmallows and sprinkles to go around.
We asked our guests to take a walk through our office and vote in our annual staff Door Decorating Contest, and the consensus was clear: Advisor Christine Pikutis-Musuneggi’s “A Yinzer Christmas” themed door took home the win — a well deserved victory! We were then joined by students from the South Fayette Student Government who bagged and brought the toys down to a bus, which we almost completely stuffed.
Most importantly of all, together, we collected 4,522 toys for Toys for Tots — the third highest total in program history! We couldn’t have done it without the support of our friends, families, and clients. Thank you to all who contributed — we’ll see you in November for the 2023 event!
