Orbus Exhibit & Display Group Fundraises for DuPage County’s Annual Toys for Tots

Orbus Exhibit & Display Group®, one of North America’s leading trade suppliers of display, exhibit and event solutions is honored to announce that for the second year in a row, the company has donated thousands of dollars’ worth of toys to the DuPage County Toys for Tots. The company raised just over $1,300 in contributions, and volunteers worked with local businesses to shop for toys that filled several boxes. The donated toys will be distributed to children in need throughout DuPage County, IL during the week of December 21st.

Orbus is dedicated to giving back to the communities surrounding its Woodridge, IL and Las Vegas, NV manufacturing and production facilities. The DuPage County Toys for Tots program provides a new toy to disadvantaged children at Christmastime to share and spread a message of hope, and was an ideal choice for the company to wrap up a year of charitable contributions. From December 1 – December 10, Orbus employees donated monetary and toy donations, gathering $1,390 to be put towards the purchase of toys. A corporate match raised the total to $2,780.

After fundraising completed, a team of Orbus employees visited local businesses to shop for toys that would fit the needs of the Toys for Tots program, gathering and packing into large boxes in the lobby of the Woodridge facility. A generous donation by Target® in Yorkville, IL to volunteer shoppers added an additional $200 to the total used to purchase. Employees were also encouraged to bring toy donations of their own to add. On Monday, December 14th, Marine LCpl Steven Collins accompanied a truck pickup of the boxes of toys from Orbus. The toys will be sorted for distribution at a local Toys for Tots warehouse and handed out to the disadvantaged children across the county. After all children in DuPage County who are in need receive a toy, any overflow will then be sent to other Illinois counties in need.

Orbus is honored to have once again participated in the fundraising for, collection and donation of toys for the DuPage County Toys for Tots program.
