FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly 1,500
children will enjoy a happier holiday thanks to a $50,000 Toys for Tots donation from RadioShack, a
leading national retailer of innovative technology products,
services and accessories.
"Every child deserves a special gift under the tree for
Christmas. RadioShack is proud to support DFW Toys for Tots to make
that possible for almost 1,500 of our neighbors," said Dorvin Lively, RadioShack's chief executive
officer. "Just as the holidays are about giving and sharing family
traditions, RadioShack's donation this year honors a long corporate
family tradition of making the hottest interactive toys and
radio-control vehicles available for all of Santa's helpers."
"Thanks to RadioShack's generous donation of exciting RC
vehicles and interactive dragons, Christmas will be quite a bit
merrier for many children," said Gunnery Sergeant Jay Lenoir, campaign coordinator for DFW Toys
for Tots. "In many cases, donated toys will be the only gifts for
these needy families. We're delighted to welcome RadioShack as a
partner in delivering hope to underprivileged youth this holiday
season."
DFW Toys for Tots aims to make Christmas gifts available to
approximately 240,000 children in 14 DFW-area counties during the
