She spread the word about the drive through an email campaign distributed to colleagues and students. The message included a list of suggested gift ideas for babies, boys, girls, and teens.<\/p>\n
When asked what motivated her to organize the Amigos for Kids toy drive at the college, Sierra said that she had attended a few of the organization\u2019s events and wanted to join in \u201cto help make a difference and give back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Generosity helps make holiday wishes come true.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Amigos for Kids annual toy drive is unique in that it aims to fulfill the specific wishes of each individual child.<\/p>\n \u201cOur community was generous, as the donation box outside my office was filled with toys, just in time for the Amigos for Kids volunteers to pick them up and distribute them throughout the third weekend of December,\u201d Sierra said. \u201cI\u2019m sure the children were very happy to receive such wonderful gifts. You can just imagine the smiles on their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n Noting that this was the first time that the business school has participated in the Amigos for Kids holiday toy drive, Sierra hopes to build on the initial exposure and have the college participate again next year.<\/p>\n\n\n
