Nov. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- The United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots annual holiday toy drive will get a boost this holiday season with the help of 40 local New Rochelle and Southern Westchester County small business owners and shoppers.

The basket is valued at almost  $3000.00!!  A representative from the United States Marine Corp will pull the winning raffle ticket. A check will be presented to a representative from the USMC Toys for Tots during the latter part of the event.
