The Advancement Office and the Business Office joined together to do
community service at a local non-profit organization called The
Bottomless Toy Chest. This organization is devoted to delivering toys,
crafts, and uplifting experiences to pediatric cancer patients at
various hospitals in the area. The two offices participated in a wrap
party at the organization's toy warehouse. Together they wrapped and
boxed over 184 gifts. Each toy is brand new, gift-wrapped in
cellophane, ribbon and hand-delivered to a patient. The clear gift-wrap
keeps the items clean and safe for children with weakened immune
systems, gives them a choice in an environment where they have no
choices, and gives children who are under massive physical and emotional
distress the joyful experience of opening a present. For more
