We encourage you to participate by donating a toy to a child in need!
Toy donation guidelines:

Bring your gift donation to the Deanâs Office front desk and place it under the tree. When you drop it off, please fill out your name on the raffle ticket and place it in the bowl (will be on the table next to the tree).
