Amateurs take time to help Toys For Tots
On Saturday December 10th, 2011, members of the Ohio Amateurs took time out during the busy holiday season to help the Marines with their annual Toys for Tots drive at Rickenbacker Air Base in Columbus.
Toys for Tots was created in 1947 when a group of Marines recognized a need in this
country to help the under-privileged children of America and found a way to fill that need. Thus Toys for Tots was born and the Marine Corps has been working hard in every local community doing their best to help all those less fortunate and in need to have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas. Every Child deserves to open a present on Christmas morning and that’s where the Marine Corps comes in. Over the years having distributed over 416,000,000 toys and delivering the joy of Christmas and message of hope to more than 195,000,000 children across America.

This year, Ohio Amateurs worked with SSgt Blackwell of the Central Ohio Lima Company 3d Battalion 25th Marines to help organize and sort thousands of donated toys for children in Delaware, Franklin, Fairfiedl, Hocking, Licking, Madison, Perry, Pickaway, and Union counties.
All of the Amateur members who participated felt a great sense of satisfaction knowing that the spirit of Christmas would live on for children all around central Ohio. The Amateurs hope to represent the Ohio Quarter Horse Association with an even greater turnout in 2012.
