St. John's University's Public Relations Campaign Class Presents:
HOOPER'S THIRD ANNUAL HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE
The class is working to gain skills for educational purposes while helping out the community.
Students are trying to live out the St. John's Vincentian tradition by executing a toy drive to bring smilies to the students in the community.
In November there will be boxes to collect toys all over campus and in the community. The students have been working hard before November selling candy, and baked goods at special events to raise money to buy toys. The class has also comprised a press kit to send to media outlets in hopes of gaining awareness and donations
There is a great need for toys in the NY Metro area.
With the bad economy it is difficult for families to provide toys for their children during the Holidays. We cannot feed every child but we can help by bringing a smile to children during the holiday season.
We are hoping to raise 1,500 toys this year. This year all toys that are collected will be donated to Bread and Life, Toys for Tots and Shriner's Children Hospital.
Hooper is the face of the campaign. Hooper is Professor Paley's (the Professor leading this class) rescue dog from Katrina. Hooper is caring and lovable, and his is a great image for the campaign.
