UPD's 2nd Annual Toy Drive

UPD is looking for Toys to donate to sick children around the state.

The FGCU Police Department, Heroes Unmasked Inc. (https://www.heroesunmasked.org/) and Blue Line Bears (https://bluelinebears.org/) will begin to collect toys and monetary donations for the 2nd Annual Toy Drive. We are hoping to surpass last year’s 1337 toys worth $13,370! We will again have the faculty, staff, and students compete against each other to collect the most toys, gift cards, and/or donate the most money. The toys and gift cards collected will be for sick children at State and Local hospitals including the Golisano Children’s Hospital, and those in medical care in their homes around Southwest Florida. The monetary donations will go towards the Blue Line Bears which is a non-profit organization with the goal of helping the children from around the country cope with the devastating loss of a parent who was a law enforcement officer. This year we will again be presenting the winners in each category with a plaque and the overall winner will be placed on our annual plaque that will be hung up. All other participants will receive a certificate. If your department, student group, student organization, RSO, Sports Club, etc. would like to participate please contact me at mkittleson@fgcu.edu. Departments wishing to participate can request a box to place in their space, if you would like a box, please let me know ASAP (we have a limited number of boxes). Gift Cards and Monetary Donations can be picked up regularly and recorded so you don’t have to hold them. Just contact mkittleson@fgcu.edu to schedule a pick–up. You have from now until December 13th to collect toys, gift cards, or donate money.
