Coldwell Banker Bullard Organization Again
Serving
As Drop-off Points for ‘Toys for Tots’ Campaign
11/27/07 (11:34 p.m.) The Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty organization’s
offices are once again serving as drop-off points for the annual U. S. Marine
Corps Reserve “Toys for Tots” campaign.
The current campaign is the 60th annual “Toys for Tots” drive, and this is the
26nd year that Coldwell Banker Bullard has participated in the effort. The
Bullard offices began accepting contributions on Monday, Nov. 26, and the final
day for bringing items to the offices is Saturday, Dec. 20.
George Wiley, managing broker of the Peachtree City/Fayette County office is
coordinating the project for the Coldwell Banker Bullard organization.
The real estate company’s offices are serving only as collection points.
Coldwell Banker Bullard does not distribute toys, as this is done through local
churches, local Department of Family and Children Services offices, or the
Marines.
Area residents wanting to contribute can drop off a new, unwrapped toy at a
Coldwell Banker Bullard office, Coldwell Banker American Land Mart, or one of
the other collection points, and the Marines will take care of the rest,
distributing the toys to needy children through local charitable organizations.
The website address for the campaign in the Atlanta area is
www.atlantatoysfortots.com.
For those preferring to contribute money to the campaign, a check made out to
“Marine Toys for Tots Foundation” will be accepted. Cash donations will help the
Marines buy toys at deeply discounted prices, and donations are 100 percent tax
deductible.
Coldwell Banker Bullard offices are located at 238 Stockbridge Rd., Jonesboro;
4295 Jodeco Rd., McDonough; 201 Prime Point, Peachtree City; 1605 East Hwy. 34,
Newnan; 244 Odell Rd. (Ste. 6) in Griffin; 658 West Third Street, Jackson;. and
889 Commerce Dr., Conyers (both Bullard’s Conyers office and its affiliated
company, Coldwell Banker American Land Mart, are located here).
The “Toys for Tots” campaign has grown from a small project in the Los Angeles
area to nationwide effort. The campaign has the support of a wide array of other
organizations, groups, committees, local businesses, and national corporations.
Over the years, Marines have distributed more than 313 million toys to 151
million children.
