Employees at Eastern Revenue, Inc. are holding a toy drive at their office in Wayne, Pa. to support a local boy and other families at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia starting Nov. 14.
Donations through the “Snowflake Station Toy Drive,” are in the name of Holton Weingrad, who suffered a traumatic brain injury last year.
Eastern Revenue, Inc.’s Business System Specialist Dianne Schmitt is a friend of Holton’s aunt, who told her about the opportunity to support their family and others in need this holiday season.
Schmitt passed on the information to the company’s president Kyle Shanahan and he was immediately on board to help.
“Eastern Revenue is always looking to give back to the community in any way we can,” Shanahan said. “Our primary focus in on children and veterans. When we heard of Holton’s heartbreaking story and saw what his family is trying to accomplish by providing toys to children in local hospitals we knew we just had to get involved and help them accomplish this goal.”
Eastern Revenue, Inc., will take the toy and gift card donations it collects to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where parents can select gifts for their children at the hospital.
The toy drive at Eastern Revenue, Inc., ends Dec. 15, 2015 and donations can also be made at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
