Thank you to all those that attended the Brats for Tots event!  This year’s Brats for Tots fundraiser for Toys for Tots was held on campus at the Fleet & Service Garage. In total there were $3,098 in donations. These generous contributions will be provided to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots. A big thank you goes to all community and campus partners that helped make this event possible!

But the fundraiser isn’t over yet. Be on the lookout for Toys for Tots collection bins at 30 East Campus Mall, 45 N. Charter St., 30 N. Mills, the WARF Building and 21 N. Park St!

Toy and monetary donations for FP&M’s Toys for Tots toy drive are accepted through December 3, 2025.
Collection bins are available where most FP&M employees work. Print the half-page flyer for a detailed list of locations for the toy drive collection, and who to contact if you would like to make a monetary donation.

The Toys for Tots fundraiser is an FP&M tradition whose charitable efforts benefit the local Toys For Tots Foundation, a not-for-profit public charity that collects toys for children in the community.


Please join in thanking Carrie Ensrud, Pat Fargen, Perry Jones, Tim Netzloff, Emma DeGan, Tony McGrath, Brent Skaggs, and Brad Schenkel for volunteering their time and efforts to plan and coordinate the Toy Drive and the Brats for Tots cookout, so the FP&M tradition can continue!
