“Each year, it is incredible to see our patrons’ generosity as they bring in unwrapped toys before a show during the holiday season. Thanks to their kindness, we are able to provide dozens of bags of gifts to the Toys for Tots program and bring some joy to local children and their families,” said P.J. Prokop, Director of Marketing at PPAC. “We are also thankful to our ongoing community partnerships with WPRI CBS 12, which helps us spread the word about the program, and with Cardi's Furniture & Mattresses, which acts as Santa's sleigh by transporting our donations to the U.S. Marines.”
