Employees of video security systems manufacturer Pelco presented a record 153,240 Toys for Tots to the U.S. Marine Corps during a recent ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Clovis, Calif.
Last year, employees donated 152,140 toys, which put the company’s cumulative contribution at more than 1 million toys since donations began in 1993.
“The continuation of these huge toy contributions is a true testament to the dedication and generosity of this great Pelco family,” Pelco President and CEO David McDonald says. “Each year I feel a tremendous sense of pride for our wonderful people when the toys are presented to the Marines. Over 1 million children’s smiles – and counting. There can be no more worthy cause than this.”
The company matches the number of toys donated by employees one-for-one. This year’s employee contribution represented an average of more than 30 toys from each of Pelco’s 2,600 worldwide employees.
