dressbarn hopes that you'll add just one more
person to your holiday shopping list this season and share the joy
of the holidays with of one of the nearly 13 million children now
living in poverty in this country. For the third consecutive year,
dressbarn is partnering with the U.S. Marine
Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program to help ensure that no
disadvantaged child is forgotten this holiday season.
dressbarn is asking customers and
associates to donate new, unwrapped toys at their local stores
throughout the country, beginning November 18th through December
14th. Toys for Tots will distribute all donated toys to deserving
children in the store's local community. And as a thank you,
dressbarn is offering a gift in return: each
person who donates a toy will receive a coupon for 15% off the
purchase of a regular-priced item.
"This simple act of kindness can mean so much to a family
struggling to make ends meet," said Vivian Behrens, executive vice
president and chief marketing officer of dressbarn. "When you help put a toy into the hands of a
child who might otherwise go without, you are sending a message of
caring and hope not only to the child, but to the family as well.
We're proud to be a part of the Toys for Tots program again this
year."
The U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program helps less
fortunate children throughout the country experience the joy of
Christmas. Through the program, the organization hopes to play an
active role in the development of children, to unite members of the
local communities in a common cause and to contribute to better
communities in the future. With its message of caring and its
record of success, the program sets an example for children that it
hopes will inspire them to grow into more responsible and
productive citizens.
"The past few years have been difficult ones for many in the
U.S.," said Behrens. "Many children have little to look forward to
this holiday season. We hope you'll join us in encouraging all
children, no matter what their circumstances, to continue to reach
for their dreams. Through the kindness of our community, these
children will receive a gift that is even more important than the
toy you donate -- the gift of hope."
Nationwide, dressbarn hopes to collect
more than 20,000 toys to contribute to the program, topping its
2009 total of over 12,000 toys. For more information on dressbarn, or its participation in the Toys for Tots
