Collecting Toys and Holiday Toy Drives to Benefit Kids

SAN DIEGO - Nov. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- For the 10th year, It’s All About the Kids™ Foundation will collect and distribute over 1500 toys to children in San Diego and Baja Mexico. The San Diego business community has come together once again to support the cause. “We are so excited to have such an outpouring of support, so we can make this holiday season bright for the less fortunate children in San Diego and Baja Mexico,” said Co-Founder and President of the Board, Angela Brannon. “Without the help of our amazing sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish our goal of providing toys to all the children of our partner charities and orphanages. We ask everyone to open their hearts and help us create holiday magic because every child deserves a happy holiday season.”
