Earlier in December, Nassal participating in a Toy Drive benefiting the North and Central Florida 2012 Holiday Toy Celebration for the Boys & Girls Club. We received a letter and pictures which we wanted to share and really embodies the true meaning of the Holiday spirit this time of year.
Dear Nassal:
I wanted to take a moment to let you know that our North and Central Florida 2012 Holiday Toy Celebration for the Boys & Girls Club was our best event yet! Thanks to generous donations from clients like you, we collected an astonishing 7,000 toys from direct donations and checks! Not only were we able to give bags of toys to the over 450 children that ultimately attended our party on Saturday, but the clubs will be able to distribute over 50 bags and about 500 toys to children ranging in age from infants to teens throughout the area who were not in attendance. You have touched many lives this holiday season and all of us at Robert Half thank you!
The party was a big hit with the kids as we provided face painting, snowflake making, holiday card making, penguin tattoos and for the third year in a row – a Make Your Own Sundae bar. We also provided the kids with a hot lunch of a hot dog or hamburger, chips, a cookie and a drink. Santa kept busy with constant visits from the children and then came out to the stage to prepare them for the final surprise of the day Ð the toys!
As you can imagine, the bag opening was met with squeals of delight as volunteers made their way out of the ‘secret hiding’ room with the gifts. It is always a touching sight when Santa counts 1É2É3 and the children begin to open their bags! We hope the pictures we included above give you some insight into the joy we all felt throughout the gymnasium. You may also want to view a short video of the party at RHI Boys and Girls Club.
Thank you again for making this holiday a special one for these children. You have created a memory they will take with them for the rest of their lives.
Happy holidays!
Robert Half International
