Studio West Photography's Annual Toys for Tots Drive

Studio West Photography will host its fourth annual Toys for Tots Toy Drive in Libertyville on Friday, October 28th, 2011 from 11:00am-3:00pm.  The studio is located at 512 N. Milwaukee Avenue, just north of Cook Street in Downtown Libertyville.

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.

“This promotion coincides with MainStreet Libertyville’s Trick-or-Treat on MainStreet, said Jeff Mateer, Studio West Owner.  “The children are so excited to be in their costumes that we thought it would be fun to take their portraits and help the Toys for Tots program at the same time.”  Children that stop by Studio West during the event will receive a Complimentary 5x7 Portrait in exchange for a new toy or a $7 donation to benefit the Toys for Tots Program. 

 

Last year Studio West photographed over 100 children and collected over $600.00 and dozens of toys for the Toys for Tots program!

 

The studio will be decorated in Halloween motif, and additional portrait packages will be available for purchase.
