TOYS FOR TOTS - Please Donate Today!

Every year, during the holidays, I try my best to support the TOYS FOR TOTS charity. I'm asking all readers to please do the same & make a donation because it really is a wonderful service to people, especially kids during Christmas. You can visit their website & make a money donation or easily donate some packaged toys at one of their many drop-off locations. Their website has more information but I do know that there is a drop-off box at ALL the Toys-R-Us stores. The charity is very efficiently ran by the US Marine Corps. They do good work. So, please make a donation, no matter how small. Every little bit helps & you'll feel great doing it. Thank You. Oh yeah, here's a link for more info:

Please Support TOYS FOR TOTS - Donate Today!

Every year, close to Christmas, I always get totally excited about the TOYS FOR TOTS organization. Seriously, it's a wonderful charity. It's run by the US Marine Corp & they help underprivileged children try to have a decent Christmas. The basic idea is that they have Donation Boxes all over the place where you can drop off any packaged toy. Then, these toys are sorted & delivered to poor children. Think about Christmas times you have had in the past where you got a lot of cool stuff. There are many kids who don't get anything at all. This is so wrong! I have always thought that this holiday is "all about the kids". So, while you're out there at the malls, buying a bunch of crap you don't really need, please buy at least one packaged toy that you can drop-off at their box. You'll feel really great about it & it will seriously help a small child. Who knows, it might even change their life! TOYS FOR TOTS also accepts money donations online & if you need to find a drop-off location then be sure to check out their website by clicking HERE! One last thing, this message goes out to my Toy Collector & Toy Dealer Friends who might not be able to afford to buy new toys or donate cash: If you have some Sealed Action Figures & Barbies you don't care about anymore or some "old toy stock" that is gathering dust. Clean it off & donate that. Believe me, these kids appreciate everything they can get!

Please Give To TOYS-FOR-TOTS This Holiday Season!

Since it's the holiday season I wanted to ask everyone to please please please do whatever you can for the TOYS-FOR-TOTS Foundation. This is a Not-For-Profit Organization run by the US Marine Corps. All donations are tax deductible. Basically they try to make sure that children everywhere have some kind of Christmas this year & every year. This is a very well organized & deeply respected organization, they do good work! I know that many BAT-BLOG Readers are also toy collectors so if you have any spare toys laying around you can donate then please do or maybe on your next trip to Target to find that one Hot Wheels Car or Rare Action Figure you need badly maybe buy a few small toys or one big toy to donate. They ask that all toys be in their original packaging. If you don't have the time for that then please donate whatever money you can. Even if it's just a few dollars this can really add up & it will honestly touch the life of a kid in need or crisis. Think about Katrina & other recent events. Please do what ever you can. Believe me here when I say that you'll be extremely glad you did & it will make you feel great!

I want to Thank every BAT-BLOG Reader in advance for reading this.

This Year Please Donate Some Toys To TOYS FOR TOTS!

"Let's Show Everyone That Toy Collectors Are The Most Generous People You Can Meet!"


I never "Get Political" or anything like that but I want to remind everybody about an incredible charity called TOYS FOR TOTS.


I know many of you have heard of it. Every year the US Marine Corp starts a drive to help bring toys to under-privledged children everywhere. I think as toy collectors we really need to think about how we are blessed with this freedom & we need to think about others. Since 1989 this organization has helped bring joy & happiness to many children who's parents can hardly afford food! Think about being a little kid & the sheer joy a gift of a toy brings. You can help! All they ask for is a very easy thing we can all do. Either donate money ( ANY amount helps ) or donate a sealed MINT IN PACKAGE Toy to one of their drop-off locations. Their "Donation Boxes" are everywhere! I know they have them at ALL Toys-R-Us stores, that's the one I use. But, if you check out their website they can tell you all of the many spots in your own hometown. I hope everyone who reads this not only thinks about it but does it. Thank You, I appreciate you reading this far. You can find all the information you need at their official website:

Please Join The TOYS FOR TOTS Toy Drive!

Yes! It's that time again! Every year, here at the Bat-Blog, we get totally excited about the TOYS FOR TOTS Toy Drive & this is when we ask everyone who enjoys this website to please drop-off a few sealed toys to a TOYS FOR TOTS location. Now, they're pretty easy to find. You can usually spot them at any Toys-R-Us location plus there are a ton of other places like Banks & Restaurants. All you need to do is visit the TOYS FOR TOTS website & click the "Toy Drop-Offs" button. There, you'll find a huge list. Now here's the deal, while Christmas shopping, just buy a few extra toys ( think in terms of "Boy & Girl" ) and then drop them into a donation box, it's that easy! Then, the US Marines will deliver these toys to disadvantaged children in your community. It's an incredible charity organization that brings joy to kids every year. Also, if you don't have time to deliver some toys you can always just make a cash donation at their website. Please do, it's really a super-great cause! Thank you. ( Oh, if you can't afford to donate anything this year, then just please spread the news about the TOYS FOR TOTS event. Telling other people about it will help a lot, thanks! )

PLEASE REMEMBER TOYS FOR TOTS - Children's Charity Still Needs Donations!

I know they have donation boxes at Toys-R-Us. Plus, you can check out their website for many more, just click HERE! Thank you & Happy Holidays!!

Please Support TOYS FOR TOTS Literacy Program!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Since it's the very 1st day of a brand new year I thought it would be a good time to mention a really great charity that I just discovered. It's called the TOYS FOR TOTS Literacy Program. Now, long time Bat-Blog readers know we hype the regular TOYS FOR TOYS charity every year around Christmas. It's that organization run by the US Marines where they give toys to under-privileged children. Well, now they have another charity where they circulate new books to children who do not have access to libraries. They not only make sure lots of kids get books of their very own but they also teach them how to read. You see, it's all about teaching kids how to read & learn to love books. This is something I believe in very strongly. I love reading, love books, & can't imagine a life without being enriched by them. So, this charity has now become very important for me. What I would like to do right now is ask every reader of the Bat-Blog to please consider making a donation to TOYS FOR TOTS or even just spreading the word about it. At the end of this post will be a link to their website. Please consider going there & seeing what YOU can do. This would make an excellent "New Year's Resolution"! You can visit their website by clicking HERE! Thank You.
