Next week is National Boys and Girls Club Week and the Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) and Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) are celebrating by teaming up to distribute toys to children of military families. The families are stationed at USCG Base Portsmouth MWR and Naval Base Portsmouth in Virginia.
On March 25, from 4:00pm to 5:30pm, TIF and BGCA will distribute toys at the Pemberton MWR Gymnasium. More than 200 military family members from every branch of service expected to attend.
The toys were donated to The Toy Bank, the Foundation’s signature program, by toy manufacturers during the 2010 Toy Fair. Through the Play Comforts partnership, TIF will provide Toy Bank toys to members of Boys & Girls Clubs located on military bases across the country with high deployment rates.
