Toys for Tots 2007 Distributing more than 12,000 smiles
 Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. January, 14th 2007- Thousands of smiles where distributed this past January 7th, as kids from underprivileged communities of Puerto Vallarta received toys for the Kings Day. Members from the Navy League and the community along with Marriott Associates, enthusiastically met early in the morning at the parking lot of the CasaMagna Marriott to load up their trucks with soft toys, basketballs, soccer balls, volleyballs, cars, and dolls, among other toys, and headed of to make the children of Puerto Vallarta happy.
There was an atmosphere of camaraderie and goodwill in the air as the day began, a warm cup of cocoa and the traditional Rosca de Reyes that Marriott offered set everyone in the right mood to deliver joy around Puerto Vallarta.
From 6 a.m., the trucks and vans began their caravans. Among these, Navy League, Civil Protection, DIF, and more than one hundred voluntaries distributed toys between 10 different routes, extending from Cabo Corriente, El Tuito, Boca de Tomatlán, Mismaloya, Las Palmas del Progreso, El Progreso, 12 de Octubre, Los Volcanes, Las Mojoneras, Magisterio, Loma Bonita, Joyas del Pedregal, La Floresta, Brisas del Pacifico, Las Palmas, Soyatán, Tebelchia, toda la sierra hasta San Sebastián, Mezcalitos, Laguna, Tondoroque, Higuera Blanca hasta Sayulita, Guamuchil, San Quintín, San Ignacio, La Peñita, El Colomo, La Ceiba, El Carrizo, Los Sauces y Aguamilpa .
Thanks to the great efforts and compromise of the community and institutions that sponsored the 9th Annual Golf Tournament and Gala Dinner, the necessary funds to buy more than 12,000 toys were raised. Sponsors include the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & SPA, Navy League A.C., Club de Golf Vista Vallarta, Continental Airlines, the United States of North America Consulate, Coldwell Banker and ScotiaBank, this amazing altruistic event took place.
Soon this project will continue to generate smiles when Playgrounds are installed on the parks and gardens of underprivileged communities of Puerto Vallarta. Email to a friend
