Toys for Tots

Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.

They have even partnered up with Subaru who donates two hundred –fifty dollars every time you buy or lease one of their vehicles, and the ASPCA health insurance to protect your pets. Not only do they have ads to help prevent cruelty, but they are also a hands on charity.

Then, the organization was comprised of volunteers and researchers in a partnership, and today the same holds true. The March of Dimes website states that their main mission for the organization is that “March of Dimes researches, volunteers, educators, outreach workers and advocates work together to give all babies a fighting chance against the threat to their health (March of Dimes website).” The inevitable goal of course is to fight until prematurity and birth defects no longer exist.

Each year, students orchestrate THON, a Penn State student-led philanthropic organization that raises money for Four Diamonds and Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital. Throughout the year, students coordinate fundraisers and a 46-hour dance marathon to cover costs that insurance companies will not cover and attain funding for pediatric cancer research. At Penn State, I intend to be a part of this phenomenal organization. Within THON, I plan to continue my leadership through becoming a committee member. Fundraising is an essential component in any kind philanthropic organization; therefore, participating in canning weekends, becoming a committee member, and raising money. All of the money raised through THON benefits Four Diamonds at Penn State Hershey Children’s Hospital for groundbreaking research in pediatric oncology and medical support for families battling this devastating disease. Over the past 40 years, THON has raised over $127 million dollars to find a cure for pediatric cancer, the leading cause of fatal disease in children, which will impact the lives of those dealing with the effects of cancer and improve the overall quality of life for the

St. Jude’s target for marketing fundraising is far larger than most charities. Their target; preschoolers, professionals, 8th graders and 80 year olds, television, radio, local drives, school drives, trike-a-thons, math-a-thons, local, county, state and national events. Some of the big ones that you may be familiar with; the “Dream Home Giveaway”, the “Thanks and Giving Campaign” and the radio-a-thon “Country Cares”. Because of last year’s St. Jude’s NFL event, 18% of American’s said they planned to support St. Jude’s “Thanks and Giving Campaign” during this past holiday season. No opportunity is turned away.

Having an array of toys that promote diversity that the children are not used to being exposed to.

Our mission is to provide charitable relief in the form of Educational Advancement and Academic Development.

An important element of our mission is to support both active duty soldiers and veterans. We have “adopted” overseas troops and send them “care” packages. We also hold a semiannual book sale to benefit veterans at American Lake Hospital.

The March of Dimes, a nonprofit organization, has helped many children who were born prematurely. As a mother who experienced the fear and uncertainty of seeing your child in an incubator and connected to breathing devices, I empathize with people who need the expertise that this organization provides. One of the signature campaigns that March of Dimes sponsors are walk-a-thons and most people donate their time and monies during this fund-raising process. With this in mind, it is apparent that the March of Dimes utilizes the concepts such as philanthropy giving, social networking, and long-term solvency. In addition to these concepts, the March of Dimes has developed a “case for support” (Worth, 2014, p. 273).

Imagine walking by your favorite department store, you hear the familiar sound of a bell ringing. With the sound becoming louder, you can now see the famous red bucket and someone there to greet you with an enormous smile and a holiday cheer. The people of the Salvation Army aren’t there just around the holidays; they are actively collecting all year round. One of the oldest and most recognized charities also has the highest efficiencies. They reach millions of people all over the world. A monumental organization is characterized by providing for those in need, motivation to identify and eliminate the cause of that need and to bring the community closer.

The other purpose is carrying out awareness campaigns to establish a solid partnership with active community corporations. This goal has several underlying causes; the main one is the large number of children who are deprived of the simplest form of therapy they are so deserving of, because it is too expensive. Therefore through the relations with these corporations I will attempt to start a fundraiser to cover the needed expenses for the above mentioned category on an annual basis.

All of the proceeds from the cupcakes go to an organization called BASE Camp, an Orlando-based children’s cancer foundation that provides year-round support for children suffering from cancer and other life threatening illnesses.

Another problem involves the increased time required to identify a given issue, as well as the best practice to formulate and pass a given message. Finally, the hospital faces negative perception by the local patients, which is generated from individual beliefs and perceptions. To curb these challenges, the SickKids Hospital has developed a suitable financial base such as appropriate shareholder and investor inclusion to raise funds for their physicians, communication platforms, and education to alter the perception of the local individuals (Wong, 2012). Together with the inclusion of varying investors, the hospital has broadened its services to include indulgence in charity work. This enables the hospital to develop suitable corporate social responsibility strategies that boosts its finances. In additional, the charity work enables the hospitals to develop a suitable consumer environment that links its operations to its performance and productivity objectives. Donations and Christmas gifts have also contributed largely to funding the SickKids Hospital. Corporate programs within the hospital have been developed to ensure that donations and gifts are accepted at a specified time with suitable compensation for individuals who offer the

I think that people should donate to Toys for Tots because Toys for Tots helps toddlers who don't have toys and if people don’t have toys they turn into Grumpy mean people.I realize that some people might not think they should not waste their money on this but just think about it.Imagine you're a toddler alone in the streets of a city.Now imagine that your in the city but this time your not alone you have your best friend with Mr.Cuddles you never leave anywhere with out him and its so much fun having him with you.Now I wont you to think about the 2 choices tell me which one youd rather be in.Not convincing enough?Fine I will give you 3 reasons you should support Toys for Tots.

Central Idea: Many charities are deserving of support, but St Jude is truly special. Everything they do for these children makes their lives and their family’s lives just a little bit easier.
