TFT2009

AGA Cleveland Continues their Toys for Tots Tradition2009 marked the seventh year that the Cleveland Chapter of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) has volunteered to assist the U.S. Marine Corp Reserves with the Toys for Tots program. While AGA serves government accountability professionals by providing education and fostering professional development and certification, they are also dedicated to supporting the community in which they operate. With a majority of AGA Cleveland members being employed by government agencies, the Toys for Tots program was an excellent opportunity to partner with a military organization and contribute to such a great cause.

On Saturday, December 19, AGA Cleveland contributed to this tradition by volunteering to help the Akron Marine Corp Reserve Unit in making this season special for thousands of children and their families. Six individuals volunteered on behalf of AGA Cleveland and assisted families in "shopping" for children age 14 and under at the Salvation Army distribution center. Volunteers also helped sort and stock toys, books, stuffed animals and stocking stuffers. Other items provided to those families in need were winter coats and boxes of food. Many thanks to all those who campaigned, volunteered, donated and sponsored; helping give local children and families a very special holiday this year.
