Toys For Tots 2011 was a SUCCESS!
For the 4th year OAA was proud to be a collection site for the Toys for Tots collection drive.
This year we were able to collect new and unwrapped toys in our Allentown office and the new Bethlehem office. We received an abundance of donations filling ten large bags!
We also had the opportunity to work with 99.9 The Hawk as they made their way around for their Toys For Tots Toy Collection Tour and stopped in at both the Allentown and Bethlehem offices. Check out some photos from The Hawk's visits (Allentown & Bethlehem) and the abundance of collections.
Thank you to the community of OAA for another successful Toys for Tots drive! Your contributions are sure to bring smiles to children of the Lehigh Valley! |
