The United States Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program has worked tirelessly all year long with the hope that no child will be forgotten this Christmas. But with more than 16 million boys and girls living in poverty in America, our Christmas list is longer than ever.

That's why we really need your help!

For 64 years, the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program has been delivering smiles at Christmas by providing toys, books and other gifts to less fortunate children. Our mission is to ensure that all children experience the hope and joy of opening a special gift meant just for them. Just last year, with the help of people like you, we delivered toys to 7.2 million children.

Our mission this year is enormous -- but we are Marines and we're used to challenges. And with you as part of our team of Santas, we hope this will be the year that all boys and girls will have at least one present to open under their Christmas tree. Please make the pledge to help today.
