Hundreds of Pelco employees extended a charitable hand to Toys for Tots during a recent ceremony by presenting the U.S. Marine Corps with 70,783 toys for needy children.
The company’s cumulative contribution to the program has exceeded more than one million toys since 1993.
The annual event, held at Pelco headquarters in Clovis, Calif., included the presentation of a toy representing the overall donation to members of the U.S. Marine Corps, live music and the singing of the national anthem by Pelco employee Lorraine Christiansen.
“During these harsh economic times, Pelco is proud that its employees have continued their commitment to Toys for Tots and to bringing Christmas to thousands of Central Valley [Calif.] children in need,” says Pelco President and CEO Dean Meyer.
The Toys for Tots organization has become Pelco’s flagship charity. The company matches one-for-one the number of toys donated by its employees each year.
