“My son is 10 and watching him open his presents on Christmas morning is the highlight of my holiday season. We want to be able to give less fortunate parents and children the same opportunity through Toys for Tots,” says Neil Ryan, owner of Wireless Zone.

Nearly 22% of children in the United States are living below the poverty line and desperately need community participation in order to make their holiday season a little brighter. In 2012, Toys for Tots donated over 15 million gifts to more than 7 million children. This year, Wireless Zone and Toys for Tots are partnering together to encourage toy donations, such as books, backpacks, board games, electronics and etc.
