Pep Boys has announced it is now a national sponsor of Toys for
Tots, the program run by U.S. Marines which brings the joy of the
holiday season to less fortunate children. Starting Nov. 4, the
well-recognized Toys for Tots donation bins will be in service
waiting areas of Pep Boys locations throughout the country where
customers can donate new, unwrapped toys. Pep Boys corporate
offices and distribution centers will also have bins so the
Company’s 22,000 employees can also participate. Customers who
bring a Toys for Tots donation to Pep Boys this holiday season will
receive 25%1 off their purchase of parts, accessories, or service
as a thank you for their generosity.

“Pep Boys has long been a part of our local communities and a
supporter of our nation’s military. As a national service network,
a partnership with the Marine Toys for Tots Program was a perfect
fit to contribute to the community and bring joy to children during
the holiday season,” said Brian Kaner, CEO-Service. “We know our
employees, customers, and neighbors will give generously to this
much-loved tradition, and we’re looking forward to helping to make
the holidays happy for children in need.”
“We’re pleased to welcome Pep Boys as a National Corporate
Sponsor of the 2019 Marine Toys for Tots Program. Having toy
collection bins in their nearly 1,000 locations across the country
will provide an opportunity for even more donors to find a location
in their neighborhood to assist children-in-need,” said Ted
Silvester, Vice President-Marketing and Development, Toys for Tots
and Colonel, USMC (Ret). “Pep Boys community service efforts
certainly align with those the Marine Corps has promoted for over
72 years through our Toys for Tots Program and their support will
enable us to fulfill the Christmas holiday dreams of less fortunate
children.”
As a corporate sponsor, Pep Boys has committed a $25,000
donation and, over the next two months, employees will work with
dedicated U.S. Marines and Toys for Tots volunteers in their areas
to collect and distribute toys. Pep Boys teams will be holding
local donation drives and events, including car shows and
cruise-ins where admission will include a Toys for Tots
donation.
