Toys For Tots History

Toys for Tots has grown steadily since 1993’s modest donation of 808 toys to become Pelco’s “flagship” charity: with the company matching one-for-one the number of toys donated by the employees. Each year Pelco’s 2,400 worldwide employees raise money throughout the year with dozens of activities such as bake sales, raffles, voluntary payroll deductions, and solicitations from suppliers and customers. The Second Annual Pelco Toys for Tots Holiday Fun Run continues the fundraising tradition
